I am trying to create a "plasma ball" like the one on this picture:
http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2004/casa/casa_silicon_ions.jpg
and to animate it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards.

these questions here are not the right place...

go to www.elysiun.com and register, and ask the question in "Blender General" , that forum are for the artists...


this Forums is NOT a userforum in terms of being an artist, but for Developments sake...just to let you know!

Good luck

You need a volumetric renderer.. You could probably do it with the
particle system with the particles set to static..

or the old 'sh!t load' of planes with a few procedual textures on it
