Really Cool Vid from Vimeo, OpenSceneGraph

I rarely have the compulsion to post stuff because I think it's "so darn cool", but I saw this video on Vimeo recently, and thought it was particularly awesome. It's one of the cooler particle/physics looks I've seen. Not QC.

This composition shows how to construct "jumping" lines out of sprites, textured with a gaussian gradient that appear as though they squish as they reach a given boundary, then bounce from that boundary.

There are controls that change the size, pace, interpolation, line weight, phase control, and some other parameters.

Tendrils

Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce this effect in QC, without the drawing part (meaning, only the behavior of the line, once it's on the screen): http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~traer/tendrils/

Does anyone knows where should I start ? Is it possible ? The only thing I know is that it involves a spring algorithms and particles.

Thanks !
