I'm not sure what you mean by that. Of course all the textures are made from
the same pattern, but unique turbulence is added for each particle, so
they're not identical. Maybe I should also vary the colors a bit?

I don't understand this either. I don't have a set of predefined paths, all
the particles react the same way on (inverse) gravity and wind, and besides
that some randomness is added.

I tried using more particles, but it just made the fire and smoke much more
blurred, because more textures were averaged...
