I've been playing with Apophysis and love it, and I'm in such a distracted mood that it's taken forever to post a question about a problem that's been plaguing some of my flames.

I've done a few different renders for a series I've dubbed Ghostweb (for some reason) - I've tried using the editor and changing things slightly, but I keep getting a 'gap' I guess running down towards the centre. I'll post a file to demonstrate.

It's no biggie, just wondering if its something glaringly obvious

Oh yeah, the pic *duh*

It appears that one of your transforms (triangles) has a polar variation. You should use the Editor and find the triangle that has the polar variation applied (click each triangle and check for any value other than zero for Polar on the Variations tab) and set the value to zero. This may affect your flame (for better or worse, never know). Hope this helps. :)

OMG Wow! Thanks, that did the trick (who thought that 0.02 would have such an effect) I'm still not too sure what all the editor triangles do, but I've now got a series I'll have to post, all fixed! Thanks again!

You are very welcome. :D Can't wait to see that series.
