There was also some work by the people at Digital Productions on the
subject. The only author I remember is Larry Yeager (hi Larry!) and
I think it was in SIGGRAPH '86 or '87. It dealt mainly with the algo-
rythm used for the simulation of Jupiter for the movie "2010". I haven't
read it for a while, but I don't think Perlin's paper actually talks
about *animating* the turbulence. Larry's does. (I might be wrong
about Perlin's though).
