I am trying to simulate below picture / animation.
It is a simulation of fluids mixing (often used in light show at pop concerts).So the main thing is how to 'mix' textures in cinema?
I started using the Proximal shader, but it is very complicated.I hop someone can help me.

Hi Pim,
Here is a starting point. Explore how different Noise and Seed versions affect the distortion (animated), while the scale is surely a strong influence.
CV4_2025_drs_25_RSoa_01.c4dI have set the ramp to match your reference image.
Back in the days when I made stage light shows for bands for many years, I had one of these Oil projectors that created this effect. There was a round double glass chamber, each filled with two tinted oils. After the light warmed the oil, it produced all these psychedelic patterns based on a little motor rotating the unit with the oils, and the patterns changed. When combined randomly with my other nine projectors, it created a nice blend. Why am I talking about stuff from decades ago? Because the two chambers are a key point here, and I have set the Material up in that way, with two sources mixed in the Color Layer.
All the best

Yes, back in the days with those Oil projector light shows, those were the days.
And exactly what I want to do!
I have a close look at your example and get back to you.Regards,

Thank you Pim.
Please let me know if there are any other ideas or directions we should explore.
Enjoy your project

@Dr-Sassi Now I want to add another object, here a sphere, and let the two textures mix.
I see various options to 'mix' the textures:- animate the transparency of the objects / textures
- use the proximal shader
- feather the object. For example the sphere texture is too sharp
- add transparency in 'areas' of the textures
Here an example of an extra sphere with an vibrate and transparancy in the texture.
Here the scene file
cv4_2025_drs_25_rsoa_02.c4dWhat do you think is th best method to 'mix' the textures and could you give an example?
Regards,
Pim
