Uhh, I really like that one! Now if you could get rid of those
intersections... :)

Those are cocktail superellipsoids.

Looks like organic blood-sucking blobs that got poked by a bunch of needles
sucking the blood out of them.... gross!

Nice work!

What do you mean?  Thin out the connectors?  Probably would help.  Very busy
image right now.

Thanks

My first impression: a neuronal network (neurons inside our brains).

Not bad.

Makes me think "DANGER!"    It's like a color-reversed space battle scene
right out of "War of the Marshmellows"  :-)  I like it.

Hi!

> What do you mean?  Thin out the connectors?

connectors? Ah, now I get it - those cylinders are meant to connect the
superellipsoids! OK, in that case it's fine. I thought that there was no
deeper connection (ehm, in the "sense" sense. ehm, this doesn't get any
better :), between the ellipsoids and the cylinders, and in that case I
would have tried to not intersect them :)
