Hi there.
Is there a way to render lightstrokes?
Im coming from Blender and search a way to make something like this (but animated):

Maybe any way with the use of many particles and blurring them.

It should be possible to see this lightstrokes in mirroring materials also.

create geometry - add emitter to it - and make use of postprocessing bloom and glare - you can get somewhere pretty close with that - the post pro efects really come out in highly contrasted images like yours..

Why not? There two ways to do that - first with multipass camera effect, and second with almost any composing software (it's much faster and more flexible, imo).

Thank you!
I´ve rendered them inside of blender using cycles. Bad thing is, that im limmited in my particlenumber. To make them mirroring each particle must be shown as geometry - my 1GB graphicscard rendered around 1.000.000 particles with this settings- more was not possible.

So i need a way to "draw light" and let it mirror on a floor.

Result with cycles is attached.
