See the attached image. How many blocks can you make out?

The animation is designed to be viewed on a screen where 8 to 12 blocks
can be made out. If you can see more than that, your screen is too
bright, or I have designed the animation in a bad way. Just wondering if
that might be part of the cause when you say that the smoke doesn't
dissipate.

It spreads out a little. Anyway, I'm afraid I can't quite get rid of the
ribbon-like appearance completely, due to the way the smoke is made...

I hope you can find a picture to illustrate it! I too have been looking
for pictures of smoke in general, but it's surprizingly hard to find any
IMO.
