I saw something similar done in VRML once. It was suppose to be a firefly.
Thw woman who did it, ( I'd give her credit if I could remember her name)
just used a few concentric spheres which were progressivly more transparent
as the diameter increased. She ended up with a really nice effect.
Hope this helps : )

Subject: [JAVA3D] gaussian splatting
I'm working on a project where I need to implement a primitive object called
a gaussian splat. Basically it's a volume (spheroid say..) whose density
(opacity) varies outward from the center according to a gaussian
distribution. Any ideas on how I might be able to make something like this
with Java3D?
Thanks
