Hey, just something i did a while ago, irc seemed to like it so i thought id share this easy trick for making a ‘whisp’ type effect that can be used in conjunction with particles for dust, dirt, sci-fi effects etc.
WHoo :o That render looks awesome. Great stuff, really usefull for an evil or mystic render movie. Great, thanks, I really can use this. Do you have another great particles tests???
this is great help for making cool dust, smoke effects.
I’ve wondered for so long how the lattcese worked and now I can practice with this great demo.
Thanx man!
I really like this effect. This is exactly what I have been looking for in Blender. I am glad that you did this post. I don’t have ace so I reiterate greybeard’s plea, “Any chance of a blend file for us ‘ace’ deprived linux users? Pretty please.” or a tute.

"Okay…
I see everyone is really lazy, or really …uhh…something. "
It is not a matter of being lazy, I really don’t want to add any more software to my computer. I hate adding and deleting programs that I use once every so often. Not to mention increasing the chances for viruses. I do thank you for taking the time in posting the links though.
hmm, I was just busy fidling with this technique and I stumbled upon a problem.
How do you insert vertexes in a latice, when I add a new lattice and go into editmode I can’t extrude or subdivide?
edit> nevermind, I found the keys to set the number of controlpoints.
I see a whole new world is opening itself right in front of my eyes
the more i look at it. it looks like when the evil spirites for Final Fanatasy the Spirites within is eliminated at the end of the movie as the spirites rise up to space…
Heheh I posted my ‘starwars forcefield effect’ in general, which was basically the same setup, and got but ONE reply. sigh, I feel so underappreciated.
