For a commercial job coming up I started to explore creating particles, and in particular moving them in a spherical pattern/motion.

I didn't get it happening, but i thought these were pretty cool, so I rendered them out.

Instead of just looking up how to do it, I like to have a go at these things myself.

I used Processing for this

This is a test I did where each particle will use either a sin or cos function on each of their axis.
