This weekend I threw together an algo to generate Aurora for a holiday ecard. I was really happy with the outcome. You can see the card here.

    I’ve never seen the Auroras myself but that looks pretty realistic to me. Nice work.

    Yo Fran,

    Turned out really nice! I especially like the effect when the movie is first loaded…

    Nice work.

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
    Sure looks realistic to me too..definitely more realistic than some other versions I’ve seen.
    A chance to get the source code (as MechanisM requested) would be fantastic, but some guidelines on how to create the effect
    would be even better (for those of us “Action Script challenged” people out here) ;>)
