Projection

_{...because some things
aren't meant to be kept in the dark.}

So I made this really pretty flower using the Apophysis 3D Bloom Tutorial by `lindelokse (Which I will say is a very good tutorial and very beautiful.)

Then I realized, "...ok, so all I made was a flower, just like everyone else."

So I added rectangles, and a pre variation that I don't quite remember at the moment within the final transform. I was thinking of doing another render with the ztranslate at 0.3 or 0.7 (which causes the 'petals' to close as the number increases, making a sort of transparent shield look.)

Who knows, I might in the future. I was also thinking of doing an animation for this, but the sequence was fast enough to look like a seizure or some sort of crazy tornado, so I decided against it.

Anyway, Enjoy!
Made with Apophysis 7x (64-Bit). I don't remember which version, but it's the current newest.
