Mike, >> That is a great idea… << Much needed I think, of these kinds of effects I've used Magic so often that it has paid for itself many many times over, but I don't want these kinds of effects to get stale and there are at least an equal number of times when I could have used some "Sparkle Dust". The only way I've found to do something similar is to use explode on a number of spheres, which is o.k. but it doesn't have decay and doesn't provide the random motion of particles. >> We're thinking of joining Python and Dust together… << Interesting idea. I think for more technical applications to show flow of liquids it could be pretty useful. If you could specify the density of particles it might prove to be an interesting effect also. Especially if it had decay as well. I'd be inclined to keep the two ideas seperate but that's up to you. I will contact you shortly so that we may pursue the development of these ideas. I'm really excited about the prospect of being able to generate a "Sparkle Dust" effect. (I'd like to call it "Magic Dust" but that might confuse the products with regard to "Magic". Lets see what you and other's think about that.) Thanks BTW, I think this will be alot of fun! John
