Bill - Little_Dragon is indeed correct. Particle Illusion (PI). If you can find a back issue of it, Digit magazine (UK)featured a cut down version (SE) of it.

As a sort of an aside, heres a little trick you can do with this effect. I used video (and a leprecahun puppet) with PI but you can use Poser.

Render your animation once with the effect and your figure. Now render without the figure but keep the effect. Do NOT move the camera.

Now in your video app join the two together with a fade. Getting the Timing right is a real b******. But if you get it right, you can get a neat fading in figure look.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
