Smoke

[designmc]

Here's an interesting smoke effect:

Code: Select all

startshape point

rule point { 
	arc {} 
}

rule arc {
   arc-r {size 1}
   arc-l {size 1}
}

rule arc-l {
    arc-l {x -5 r -0.9 size .98}
    branch{}
}
rule arc-r {
    arc-r {x 5 r 0.9 size .98}
    branch{}
}

rule branch {scatter{}}
rule branch 0.015 {
	arc {r 90} 
	scatter{}
}

rule scatter 0.01 {dot {} }
rule scatter {
	dot {}
	scatter {r 89 y+2}
}

rule scatter {
	dot {}
	scatter {r 91 y+4}
}

rule dot {CIRCLE{}}

Neat. It looks like a flak burst. Just scatter itself is a usefull rule. It reminds me of newspaper half tone patterns. I might have to steal it from you.

Go right ahead! I'd love to see the scatter effect applied to some other types of shapes. It also works well on it's own creating some very organic cloudlike formations. The best is yet to come...
