Hey eonite.......if you wouldn't mind.....what's the turning a number to a vector thing all about?  I've gone through all my trainings from Asilefx and other places and I can't find anything that references that or why one would do it.
I'm trying to reproduce your mat but I don't know what I'm doing or why. The fractals and filters I have down but it's the composer nodes that are throwing me........Thanks.

I'm still in the shallow end of the FE pool :)
