This is a desktop background I made using the technique from -TheAmiMan-'s “A Glimpse of Light”. I think it turned out rather nice, so I thought I’d share.
Also, I highly recommend his thread, you can view it here:

It is very hard too see anything in this dark environment. Maybe you have not calibrated monitor?
Hmm, I do keep my LCD rather bright, sorry about that.
I’ve re-rendered with brighter lights, so that ought to help things. See the first post to view the new images.
Cool effect, very sci-fi looking abstract piece.
How’d you do that color seperation effect in the lower left corner? Yafray?
BTW, how do you pronouce Yafray? I’ve been pronouncing it Yay-Fray, LOL.
Thanks for the compliments, although I can’t take credit for the technique.
It’s blender internal with nodes. The color separation is done with the Lens Distortion node, and the streaks/glare are done with 2 glare nodes, 1 set to streaks, and 1 set to ghosts.
I’ve attached a picture of the node setup.
About pronouncing yafray, I don’t think there’s an official pronunciation, but I say it the same way.
beautiful the blue jelly
