I've seen similar done with bonfires, but never anything in 3D like that....wow.

You can position light objects on 6 axis. It's not all that hard, but the things that guy did would be pretty time consuming. I don't know how he did the ball of fire because as far as I know, you can't position fire on the vertical axis. I may be mistaken with that though.

It would probably be pretty easy to do. I'd place the first few lights and then use Excel to calculate the coordinates of the rest. I've used Excel to plot ship coordinates.

Grey Beast has done some FABULOUS air racing courses using this technique. Zeus is right, it's done with Excel. Grey Beast told me that's how he does it, that and he also uses CAD a lot so working in 6 axis is second nature to him.

Here's a link to airwarfare's racing section:

Where you can find some of the most outrageous examples of this "new" art form.

this sim NEVER fails to amaze me, at times onm a daily basis.
