What it Makes ——————————
2D and 3D Flame fractal images of great beauty, endless unique textures, video animations.
Great works of art can be easily created. Huge image diversity - all are unique.
Flowing video animations can be easily made that can be incorporated into your own movies or used as-is.

This is our largest version to-date, with so many new features.
