[Fractint] Another Before and After

1 Jul 2010


      Today's post is another fractal with a thread like structure. Maybe I should start a thread on threads.
Again I posted a before and after pair of graphics on my blog. With resampling the visibility of
thread like form is significantly enhanced. If you want to see threads that don't say tailor
go to http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com for a gander.
