Wow, many thanks for this! As well as demonstrating the blur effect, I'm also amazed at the spiral that appears when the final xform is removed - it seems to be merely a function of the relative sizes of the main xforms. Given me a whole new range of ideas
you are so welcome! i do not have a clue really how apo works..i don't know what something will do til i try it....you really should stop into out little chat sometimes #aposhack....we have lots of fun and the params are usually flying
Well, you're probably the most natural fractalist I've some across! I don't have the mathematical skills that many have, but I have enough to understand a little and find that helps me. I shall have to overcome my social anxiety and venture into #aposhack - I know I miss out on a great deal
Incidentally, do you generally use 7X and do you like linking xforms? If yes to both, I have a script that brings 2.09 'Add before' functionality to the 7X (as this still hasn't been added in the latest update).

Incidentally, do you generally use 7X and do you like linking xforms? If yes to both, I have a script that brings 2.09 'Add before' functionality to the 7X (as this still hasn't been added in the latest update).
