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...

Comments?

Awesome! Is ths smoke able to interact with other objects too? If there were
a wall in the way, for example?

It can interact with a wall, but only to a certain degree.

You can actually set up a bounding box around the
particles, and particles will stay in that area (or, if
desired, rebounce physically correct and
error-proof, as there is no timestepping or frame-by-
frame calculation: thus the long parsing times).

But that's about it, sadly. I'm not that experienced  yet
as to implement better physics, and I also don't have
the knowledge required for the physics.

But someday...

And, by the way, thanks for your "awesome"! ;-)

Now we know one of the rebels among us...

This smoke is incredible.  'Nuff said!

Magnificent! I just watched "Evolution" and asked myself how well one
could replicate a falling meteor smoke trail in POV. Obviously, quiet
well :)

Wowa! I'm being compared with a movie-effect
(a good one, by the way, really liked it)...

Thanks very much!

I actually thought about enhancing the entire scene
and using it as an example for the particle-system.
Looks like I hit a good point there...

But it was worth it! The media smoke looks very nice. It would make an excellent demo
scene.
