Great work on the article and video!

I've played with RD's especially Gray Scott a lot in Gollygang/Ready, and found some fascinating behaviours that I then brought into Houdini for visualisation, here's a couple of examples:

One thing that can help them to look nicer (in my opinion) is a reinterpretation of the reagent values as specific colours before display.. even something as simple as: pow(Uucolor,upow) + pow(Vvcolor,vpow) can be nice with well-picked ucolor&vcolor and powers. Other possibilities like hsv-to-rgb on the values can be pretty interesting too!

Ah damn was meant to be asterisks there (ie multiplication of ucolor by U etc) but it got turned into italics!
