Fascinating to see this.

But maybe I should have coded for more frames
(or less change from frame to frame ?) so 
that that it would wriggle(?) slower. 

Thanks for the comments.
And thank you very much Jamie for rendering !

(I estimated that my 100 MHz PC would need 
more than one day for 72 320x240 frames.)

I planned for another version with smooth 
looping (by sampling the noise in circular 
motions instead linear as in this animation).
But unfortunately I haven't found time for 
that yet.

For Geoff:

Here's the colour map I used for the pigment:


#include "colors.inc"

#declare Blu = color <0.0, 0.2, 0.6>;
#declare Ylw = color <0.6, 0.4, 0.0>;

color_map {
  [ 0.2 color Gray30 + Blu ]
  [ 0.6 color Gray30 + Ylw ]
  [ 0.8 color (Red*2 + Orange)/3 ]
}


And here's the finish used in the texture:

finish {
  ambient 0.1
  diffuse 0.6
  phong 0.3
  phong_size 5
}

(I don't remember if I made it or if I 
borrowed it from someone else.)
