The Life Spark

There is nothing like a high quality render to really showcase a spherical fractal. Oddly this is a tweak of a flame I am currently rendering on my laptop. It said it would take 55 hours to render (actually took over 70). This one took 5 on the good old workputer. This week `f--l--A--r--k's apo challenge was to use the spherical gems tutorial [link] to make an interesting fractal.
