   Well, you can do just that in DBW_Render.  The turbulence/noise
   functions are based on wave sources defined by the user.  These
   wave sources include a phase angle, which can be varied per wave
   source from frame to frame.  In fact, DBW's fractals are intimately
   based on the same wave sources.

   One idea I've had is to make some censers with some fractal, 
   transparent, orange fire in them.  This fire can be made to flicker
   by varying the phase angles of the wave sources.  This should prove
   to be quite interesting.  

   By the way, the include file, ray.h, has been uploaded, along with
   some test *.dat files to work with DBW_Render.  So, happy raytracing!!!
