In my latest pack, I made a really cool flow preset for AVS: smokey and trippy, called 'Inhaler'. Sort of like Geiss' smoke, but better ;).
I thought it would look really cool at high res in Milkdrop. The preset is not that complicated, it's just some effects stacked together nicely.
Basically:
There is a colorbuffer of the smoke which gets drawn on at the edges, and with specks in the middle. A flow DM causes soft turbulence here which smears out streams of smoke by blending. The flows are music responsive and cause cool patterns. The drawing of pixels is also dependant on sound intensity.
A view on this buffer is provided with a zoomed in, rotating and panning view. This creates a cool 'in your face' effect, and makes it more convincing because all you see is the smoke, not the drawing of it.
The result is motionblurred in time with fed back alphablending.
Finally there is an extra color pass which adds some yellow in the brighter areas of the smoke (which is normally blue green).
I'm worried about the rotozoomer part and the alphablending motionblur.
The final color pass could be difficult, perhaps a better color pallette can remove it, if it's not possible.
So what do you milkdroppers think of this? The AVS preset is in Whacko Revisited (http://acko.net/files/WhackoRevisited.exe) if you want to take a look.
