I am trying to creat a effect of travelling at the speed of light: twinkle stars become light beams! Similar to the Star Trek's warp speed. Does any body have good idea on how to creat this special effect in 3DS? Thanks in advance for your advice. Paul

As a matter of fact, the Yost group's Rain IPAS routine (included on the Particle Systems disk) can do that quite handily, Paul. Call 1.800.368.4727 for ordering info. -Alan Iglesias

I havent tried this, but it seems like it would work. Try generating a star field in Animator Pro and then use the effect "trails" in animator pro to streak out the lines. This could then be used as a background in 3ds. Let me know if it you try it and it works. Andrew McClary Graphic Alchemy Productions

Try stars 2 IPAS from Schreiber instruments. You can set the trail length.
