This is just a new experiment I made testing how well the pixel3d classes could stand up as a true particle system. I was happy with the result. Click to change particle stream color.
It grows 6,000 particles, has 2 fx layers, 3 total effects applied at 600x500 (no clipping). I had it running with 6 gravity spheres floating around pushing and pulling the pixels, but all it did was lessen the effect (so I took them out).
(you can see gravity only stuff going on at a semi-done experiment here)
[update]
I've uploaded a new experiment with particle color controlled by sound. Check it out.

Very nice, where is the source?

the audio one isn’t changing colors for me. Should it react to sound from the mic? I have a mic hooked up and sound coming through but no reaction is seen.

I really dug your sound particle effects. My background has been in particleIllusion 3.0, and now Apple Motion 3 and their pseudo transformation of flat particle effects into 3D which they do a decent job of.
I’ve noticed a few people have asked about the source. I’m still getting up to speed with Papervision3D, although my ActionScript programming is great, I’ve been spending my time on NVIDIA CUDO.
Would you mind making that sound version public so we can learn from you? Papervision3D is easily the way of the future for all around web 3D, and I’m so glad because I warned Adobe about a year ago that Microsoft will try to use SilverLight to control people into using DirectX (i.e. viewer only on Mac, no authoring).
So it’s great to see examples like this. If you can help some of us get up to speed, I know where the Google project is, but I’m still trying to get into it and get around and get programming using various gravitational models (just purchased a paper on one for stability of a three particle system with one dimension of gravity).
Take care.

I haven´t words. I never see something so beautifull like this.

Hi Andy,
AMAZING work!
My personal favorite is still the glock.
Im also fresh to PV3D, would be grat if you would publish the source.
Have a great day mate.

Nice effect, however I can’t interact with it! I Cannot move it for changing the point of view for example. It would be nice having this possibility of moving it.
