General coding questions / Re: Math behind the plasma effect

With a little bit of poking about the source, I actually managed to come up some pretty zesty plasmas. Thanks for the replies! Definitely looking into perlin noise.

General coding questions / Math behind the plasma effect

« on: November 01, 2009 »

In a vague attempt to practice my graphics programming, I'm trying to code one of those classic plasma effects. You've all seen them a million times, I bet. Although I'm getting something which is somwhat close to what I'm after, it's not close enough. I haven't quite grasped the theory.

If you could donate a couple of minutes to explain how a simple plasma works, I'd be grateful.

First post, by the way!
