Hi Everyone,

A friend of mine who is a musician, wants me to help him create a video to go along with music that he has composed.

He wants things like an Airplane flying making it look like its flapping its wings etc..

There is no rush or deadline to complete the video... he says it will take as long as it takes.

So I want to start with one of the easier scenes... which is a Comet streaking across the screen with come kind of particle trail, this would be done in space so some stars and a few planets sprinkled here and there.

So the question is, do I attempt to render everything including particle trail in Carrara? or should I render the scene and add particle trails in post using something like Particle Illusion software?

PS: I'm slowly building up a RenderFarm to help with this.  So far I have 4 PC's and will add more soon.  Should help with render times.

PPS: If I want to show sample video is there a better alternative than putting them on youtube? I dont want the videos to be seen on youtube before the product is completed.
