Hey yuenyeh,

You can achieve that look by adding a few PP attributes to a particle system. You'll want to either put a ramp on radiusPP or write an expression, and the same for opacityPP. You can then animate multiple emitters as the comets, linking all the emitters to the same particle shape.

Good Luck,

Hi ya,

Particles will do a great job with this especially with the camera from a certain distance away. Anything very close up would probably be best done with fluids.
