A project on smoke interaction

vvvv beta question
1

Hi, I’m really new and inexperienced with vvvv but I’m getting there.

Awesome site, amazing stuff!!

So basically I’m doing an art project where the viewer affects the flow of smoke stream. I shot some nice footage from a burning incense stick.

At the moment I use a webcam to track motion(Trautner), then the output (change in pixels) go through a few basic steps and is then connected to the seek position pin on the FileStream(my footage).
More movement = different part of video. It works OK

I just thought if I could have a rendered stream of smoke, the interaction part can be much more realistic. I just started to experiment with Particle systems but I’m really still a noob.

Anyone got a patch for me which renders smoke or something similar? Any further ideas would much be appreciated.

Im going for this idea:

Screenshot called draw_pimped, got it here .Anyone have a idea who made this or how to make it?

i made this and its based on a patch from master gregsn.

just a matter of tweaking and the right texture to get something like smoke.
