Urds Quest - a liminal experiment from 1984

$Fireworks created in Lightwave HD A parent emitter is the rocket, A child emitter is the trail of the parent rocket emitter (trail emitter parented to rocket), with child Nozzle set to Parent-Emitter. and a 2nd child emitter is flash, also parented to the rocket emitter (Flash emitter parented to Rocket) and Nozzle set to Parent Emitter End, which is a single point emitted and lasting only one frame, for a flash effect. and a 3rd child emitter parented to the rocket emitter is the tips of the trails that burst/spread out, The Tips emitter has its own child emitter called trails that spread out a trail. The Trails emitter has its own child emitter (hierarchy: rocket-tips-trails-trails), leaving secondary trails. Choose appropriate gravity, drag, vibration, parent-motion, and winds to make particles move and twist as in the second type of firework in the demo, and ad an overall direction wind to have them drift slightly side-to-side. Reference actual fireworks to get motion and timing. Use correct scale. Come up with your own sprite colors, etc. A moving turbulence in the sprite luma makes them twinkle a bit. The smokey haze is a simple fractal noise generated in Fusion, moving right to left slowly as if in a slight wind, and is revealed by a luma mask. The luma mask is created by glowing and blurring the fireworks, so the fireworks seem to illuminate the haze.
