Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 8:41PM I really love the fractal noise generator in After Effects, and it works beautifully as a source for displacement maps in Mir. This is almost entirely procedurally generated - no bitmaps or external assets used.
You can download the After Effects project files from digitaldistortion.net if you want to have a play with it.
