Thanks! I think so too. :)

Not any more particles than before, just a different texture. The
texture is actually a simple cylindrical pattern aligned so it faces the
camera. Just as it was before. The trick lies in the fine tuned
turbulence and color_map, and that was I have improved in this
animation.

Ok. In what way?

Well written? I think it's rather messy. I can't even understand the
code myself! Every time I have to make some changes I first need to take
a few minutes to figure out what I was thinking when I originally wrote
the code...

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing what things you and the
other beta testers can come up with. :)
