You're probably younger and more skilled than I ;-).

Yes, the basic primitives are wonderful. It is actually quite difficult
to make a good sphere in some packages, like Animation Master.

Well, I'm talking about 3D Julia fractals and the reason for
the program is to randomly explore the organic looking 3D
shapes. When I see one I like I can just save it for later. Maybe
eventually I'll gain an intuitive sense of what parameters will
produce what sort of shape and I'll be able to just write
the combination of five parameters to give the shape I want.
