Well, my first forray into abstract glowing things. I had fun making this one. I started out in Lightwave playing with indience angle gradients, transparent materials, caustics...well it got so that the test renders were taking 40 minuts each on my 1GHz mashine, so while one of them was rendering I opened up Blender and started to play. I got something fun to look at, opened up Photoshop, messed with the colors, applied radial blur...and finally came up with this. All while Lightwave was still rendering. (Granted I did slow it down a lot with Blender rendering on top of it :) )

The original one out of the render here. (http://rendermonitor.no-ip.com/temp/artsytest1orig.jpg) Whole thing took about 30 min tops.
When I am satisfyed with the Lightwave result I'll post it here for compairson. The render times are probably insane because I got carried away with some of the effects.
