Glowing Particles?????

FearMan

First part!:

  1. Add two objects to your scene
    -> The first should/can be a plane or something else [this will become a/the
    collision-object for the particles]
    -> The second one will become the “ParticleObject”

  2. Place both objects where you want [also the camera and the light(s)]

Than add a third object (Sphere) to your scene together with a lamp.
Than place the lamp in the middle of the sphere-object and parent it.
How to parent: [first select the lamp and than the sphere-mesh while you press “shift” (and than press “strg” + “P” to parent it)].

Than move this two objects (sphere and lamp) to another layer so that it does not stand needlessly in the middle of the scene.

The Settings:

for the (sphere and lamp):

  • Select the sphere
  • Press “F7” and go to “ObjectButtons”
  • Object and Links: [Add a new Group]
  • Than select the lamp and; Press “F7”; go to “ObjectButtons” and select the same
    Group which you have assigned to the sphere object

Now switch to the other layer where the plane (collision-object) and the particle-object are!

  • Select the Plane
  • Press “F7” and go to “PhysicsButtons”
  • Enable Collision under the button “Collision”

Now select the sphere-object

  • Press “F7” and go to “ParticleButtons”
  • Add a new ParticleSystem [Emitter]
  • Now you can change the settings for the particles like the amount how you prefer it.
  • Go to “Visualization” and change the setting “Point” to “Group”
  • Under “GR:” [Group] enter the name of your group (the 2 objects on the other layer)
    and set “Dupli Group”

Particle-Light-Settings:

Select the lamp (on the other layer)

  • Press “F5” and go to “LampButtons”
  • Under “Lamp” set “Inverse Linear” and enable “Sphere”
  • Under “Dist” you can set the Distance for the Light

INFO: [for the sphere-object (particle-object)
Now the only thing what you have to do is to make settings to get good looking particles.

You can also use Composite-Nodes to get a good picture!
