Veins with Particles

Creating an animation of flowing particles thru veins can be done in lightwave without the use of plugins such as particle storm. Basically you can create particle tubes, morph the tube along its length for a certain distance by saving the tube in one position, moving it and then saving it again as tube2 or whatever. You can use bones in layout to guide the morphing particle tube and bend and twist it to match up with you veins. The particles will now flow down the tube(s). Its very easy and Ive done it before. A lot of things can be done with lightwave without plugins with a little creative thought. :)
