Hi MP,
I have attached a file, please have a look. The colors will change the further they go away.
The MoGraph version and use of Thinking Particles has one limitation, as far as I know, the particles are created each frame newly—at least I never got any individual particle that I could adress in TP itself.
Well, the idea was to avoid TP as this would have been a learning curve.
Having said that, I hope this one works for you. I have set the gradient to “None” for the interpolation, for a better preview. Twirl down the triangle left sided from the gradient, there is an Alpha checkbox, as several of the gradients have an build in Alpha in Pyro Cluster.
Besides that I set up the particles to move, instead of stretch.

There are different ways to get this done, for example without Pyroclusters and TParticles. Spheres with Fresnel for the edges and noise for the illusion of a little cloud, all perhaps in MoGraph.
Before I do anything else, please provide all needed qualities of your set up. If I had know the color requirements for Pyroclusters, I might have pushed the Thinking Particles option a little bit more ;o)
All the best
Sassi
