Hi, I admire what I see in the gallery and would like to play around with fractals. In thinking about it I have a couple of questions. I see a lot of discussion here about flames. But I can't figure out what you are talking about. I can't find a definition of a flame fractal. Also, I would hope to do 3D fractals and be able to export them as for example obj files. I have the impression that xenodream is the only program that will do this ( I use Poser and Vue so far).Correct? And I have the impression that zenodream can texture the obj objects and that they will be textured when they are exported. Correct? My other questions right now would have to do with the ease of using various fractal programs. I have some idea from reading the comments here, but if anyone wants to throw in any suggestions anyhow, any thoughts would be welcome. I am not great with computers or math, and so ease of learning is very much a consideration. Thanks.
