The Circles effect creates solid sphere like objects that move seemingly in random fashion on a model.
Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix. One or multiple colors can be used for the effect. If multiple colors are selected, than the circles will be made up of the selected colors.
Place the effect to initially span at least a few seconds. After placing the effect on the model, adjust the number of circles and the speed down until the circles can be seen moving around and then adjust upwards as required.
Place the Circles effect on a star and select the Radial option to obtain a nice looking effect.
