Galactic clusters might actually look like galaxies anyway - probably everything at a certain scale swirls around others of its kind, and appears to be galaxy like when viewed from the right place.
Anyway - the massive black hole at the middle actually would shoot out jets of matter and energy at its rotational poles, as that image shows.
I have no idea how to get that image to be 3-D - other than placing several thousand little one-sided squares all over the place with transmapped dustings of glowy stuff. It's volumetric and nothing painted on the ellipsoid structure exterior is going to look like that.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
