I thought I'd lost this from 20+ years ago and never could get that look back.
"Rendered" this time around as SVG, but the algorithm is identical to the way I
did it in POV.

Made a few hundred (you've got to love parameterization) and bot them out on X
twice a week. Still enamored with images like this. Some things never change.

Excellent to see you around again - always enjoyed seeing your creations, 
and always marveled at their construction.

Welcome back to the forums, and Hello.

I was never here at the same time you were, but I've read a great many of your
posts.
