Cosmic Smoke explores the use of particles, noise, changing colour, and basic image processing effects to create complex visual compositions that simulate smoke, dust, or liquid. The animation showing the procedural generation runs for 180 frames before stopping at the final composition.

Many variations appear to have a smoky quality to them which inspired the name. I figured it would be appropriate to go live on 4/20 with 420 iterations - I don't even smoke :^)

Unique variables:

• Initial hue
• Rate of hue, saturation, and brightness change
• X and Y speed of particles
• Noise seed used to generate the flow field
• Noise scaling used to generate the flow field
