I used to open my blinds just a crack in the early morning and set some
incense under the slit of sunlight that would come through. It allowed me to
study the internal shape of a stream of smoke fairly intently. I will try to
take a photo in the morning but here is a quick mouse sketch of the shape I
mean. This would be a horizontal cross section of the stream.
I always thought that the shape allowed the smoke to store energy in a
smooth, protected inner spiral which works well as long as there is no
turbulence, but which comes apart completely as soon as one of the shells is
breached.

Aha. I hope to see the photo, but judging from your sketch I don't think
it's something that's possible to simulate with my system...

So the titles weren't released? That's a shame...
I think you're lucky to be able to use POV-Ray for projects in the first
place though, but of course there are times when there are better
choices...

Perhaps it is something that I ought to know, but what is "Tripping the
Rift"?

I've just finished the third and final year of college and I'm having my
exams these months. After summer I'll start at university studying
computer science and multimedia. I really look forward to that.
A frightening amount of my free time I spend on POV-Ray and related
projects. I have also worked as a pre-beta tester of POV-Ray 3.5 since I
was invited to it over a year ago. The pre-beta testers and the TAG Team
have not only tested POV-Ray 3.5 but also done major parts of the work
on updating the documentation, scene and include files, which has not
been a small job. For nine months I have worked as scene and include
files coordinator, and it has taken some of my time, but it is nice to
be able to help.
