This crashed my NVIDIA driver.

#14Parts of it look way too noisy, like TV static.
Yes, the actual burning fuel part is just random noise, which doesn't look very very good. I mention it as a possible imrpovement under "Better looking fuel".

It worked beautiful on my Intel HD 4000, though setting the "quality" to 1 or 0.5 did slow things down quite a bit.

You're not wrong. That put a workstation-class GPU in a water-cooled system up about 20 degrees C within a few seconds. And it was still not fast enough to animate smoothly during the more demanding parts later in the sequence.
Awesome effect, though. :-)

Oh me too, was fun and surprisingly not difficult. Still remember learning cool tricks from the Hugi demoscene diskmag.

#20Takes me back to the time of Netscape 2.0 where webpages were not complete without a fire.gif background :)
BTW did a pure CSS3 fire a while ago too: http://pag.es/fire/test.html
