Ha. Thanks, David. A couple of the nicest surprises were A the botanical nature of the look of some of the graphics. The 'leafs', in particular. The generator shape is not leafy at all. It's just an S shape. And B, the biological nature of the look of some of the graphics. Some of the graphics look like undersea creatures of some sort. And C some of the animations look rather smoky but with ultra colorful smoke. I might be all wet, but my guess is the reason these similarities exist is because when you take a basic S-shaped curve and rotate it, make it smaller, move it around, and make it move sort of like a snake, you'll be imitating processes that naturally occur in the growth of natural botanical and biological simple forms. I called that first shape, the dynamic S, 'nother mature' for the above sort of reason. Thanks for having a look, David. ja ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Bircumshaw" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2011 11:50 AM Subject: Re: Aleph Null finished and launched > These things are distressingly god-like, Jim.
