That's pretty spiffy. I have decided to give it a whirl, and am re-rendering a scene from 10 years ago into layers to give this warp effect a shot. I have a whole fleet of ships I need to jump to warp. I had orrginally rendered it in lightwave, trying to incorporate all effects into the animation itself (an while I do have the ships stretching then flying off into the distance...no nice trails or blur - never figured out how to achieve it in Lightwave). Now I will give it a shot with one layer for blurr on the ships, and a seperate layer for blur on the lit elements. Once it's done I'll try to post it so everyone can give it a look. Though the models for most of the ships are horribly old and outdated...
