High Resolution 'Smoke' Reaction-Diffusion Displacement

I was very impressed with Cornus Ammonis' work on some new experimental Reaction-Diffusion formulae, one of them being this awesome one that generates fantastic turbulent 'fingers' that flow hypnotically as they self-organize.

To make this, in 'Ready' I wrote out a sequence at 4096x4096 pixels, and used it to displace (and texture) a grid in houdini. There is also some subsurface shading to make it appear a bit softer.
