So, here is a funky example of the already discussed
wind-turbulence-algorithm.

There are several effects to be seen:
1. The Particles grow in size
2. They are spread a bit uneven using the turbulenced wind

No Gravity, or own movement, affects the path,
its all wind-driven.

There are 100 particles, parsing per frame
was 2.5 seconds, tracing per frame 7 minutes
and 38 seconds.
All in all, the 50 images needed 6 hours and 12
minutes to complete on my 1.4 GHZ-512MBRAM-Win98
system.

Using scattering media requires patience...
