    I’ve made smoke with the different noise generators and masks.

    Thanks. By ‘noise generators’ do you mean like fractal noise? and then animate the mask by key framing it into various shapes?

    Don’t forget, you can also layer effects on top of Fractal Noise (or Turbulent Noise) to make it look better. For example, CC Vector Blur is great for this.
