Kenneth,

Right now, the animation that I get, is based on position vectors at
discrete time steps. If I wish to get a smooth movement for each particle
(from initial position to next time steps position), then how am I supposed
to achieve that? Which filter can I use to make that possible?

Thank you,
Rohit.
