Glowing spiral dotsAnimate Size setting. Try with Magnitude in size manipulator. Change colour using the Geometry parameters of dots_generator.

Show small imageShow large image

Spiral dotsUse the Size setting. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator and with Power in the vortex manipulator (try Power = 5). Move the camera and see the effect of gravity.

Vertical and horizontal moving glowsUse Number, Lifetime, and Size to characterize horizontal & vertical glows. Use Magnitude in the V_size and H_size manipulators to set the scaling’s amplitude. Use Magnitude in the V_horizontal_osc manipulator to set the horizontal motion’s amplitude. Change colour with the light.
