Thread '3D rendering of electric field lines of a swiftly moving charge'

Happy holidays folks. So I spent some time over the Thanksgiving holidays and developed a program that renders electric field lines of swiftly moving charges according to the Liénard–Wiechert formula. The program generates static images based on the given trajectory of a charge (or multiple), and the images were compiled into a video that shows the animated field lines for harmonic movement and circular movement of a charge (or two charges). Video: The source code is available here...
