END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

very true this is a great idea

oh yes and please remember it should have a transform editor as I said earlier this thing will be better than ultra fractal (no offense)
Kali trust in yourself and by the way remember when this thing is complete I hereby grant you full credit for my ideas why might you ask
because I am more interested in getting this software built than taking credit for it I have watched as the world has struggled to make meaningful things from fractals
while i worked with a simple interface that was fully under my control it deeply saddened me so thats why this software is being built
now we can all express our feelings in fractals like I have done many times its not that regular fractal software can't do this but if you have a visualization in your mind it could
take a life time of coding to get it made with math alone
