Youtube link to my animation
I struggled with 3dsmax, but most of the issues I had were technical. Yet again I realize how important it is to have a stable computer environment, as well as plenty of disk space!
I went over the 300 frame assignment by a fair amount, but 300 frames felt too short for the slow pace I was trying to set.
The music is a clip from "Move the Clouds" copyright 1982 by BMG Entertainment (Windham Hill Records). To the best of my knowledge the short clip is covered by Fair Use Laws. For this and other awesome music, I highly recommend the Shadowfax album and the other fine albums released by Windham Hill Records.

I should also add that it was fairly simple to create this animation (rendering took a bit of time though). The "comet" shape is simply a sphere with an attached particle generator. The vortex looking thing was created by putting an image on a plane and simply rotating the plane to create the illusion of movement. If I were doing this again, I would make sure that the center of the vortex was at the exact center of the plane, to reduce wobble. I rendered the vortex and comet separately and combined them into one animation with Adobe Premier.
