Digitally animated particles

Here is a site that a friend emailed to me that I thought was just plain cool. It has some stills as well as movie shorts created digitally, as the creator writes, through a program called "SPORE," which "is an ongoing software/aesthetic development project that has grown out of a proprietary ultra-high speed particle renderer which runs on Irix, Linux, and OSX. All the images on page 1 and 2 are stills from animations, and some of these stills are constructed with over 1 billion particles." Just something fun for everyone to check out...

Thanks to Mianne for the link.
