That’s these beams here. And the neat thing about the approach that I’m going to show you is that the beams are actually derived from the force field animation, so we get some free animation out of the deal, okay? Alright, so let’s check it out. We'll jump back here to the beginning. And let's connect back over here to our force field animation. And again, we get the animation here in this frame range. So let's set up the emitter beam effect from here. I'm gonna push in here. We'll start by adding a blur node underneath the Premult. I'm gonna click over here and then type "B" on the keyboard to get my blur node and hook it right in like that.
