Another star trek style question! Does anyone know a way of creating a similar effect to Star Trek for teleporting in Blender? I tried particles, but I can’t seem to get a realistic looking effect. Please help! 
There is a star trek blender site a ran accross somewhere that described how to do this. My first thought is particles or maybe animated alpha textures or something to that effect.

WierdHat’s compositing tutorial
There was a really good post about how to composite stuff (rendered at different times) into a final scene, but it’s fairly old and I can’t find it now…
Hope this helps.
