Gas 4 ways

Below is my attempt at animating 4 new styles of gas/smoke which weren't too much effort to animate but each had their own strengths and weaknesses.

The first one (Top left) was the best looking in my opinion but it definitely took longer to animate and takes the weight of the gas into account more so, were I to animate multiple streams of gas interacting with each other rather than just one going in a straight line, it would be more difficult.

The next (Top right) was the next best looking and wasn't too hard to animate. However, I'm not sure how I'd go about animating multiple streams, it also doesn't look as visually interesting as the first.

Thirdly, the bottom left style, while it may be somewhat unique and could fit the style of the animation I'm doing, it also looks strange and isn't animated as well as the rest. It's a lot jumpier and the motions aren't as clear.

The last one is the easiest to animate and the most simple, yet effective, method of animating gas. Then again, it is also the least visually remarkable style.
