Metaphase Knobby Cross 4th Order

While I've successfully illustrated the chromosome effect in the 2nd order Mandelbrot Fractal, the X formations are all 4-sided. The 3rd order version generated a Y-like chromosome, so without further ado, here is the "X made up of Xs" effect in the 4th order Mandelbrot fractal. Because in the higher order fractals it is impossible to line up objects into a concentric row, this "X-of-Xs" formation has a very different look to the 2nd-order version. Originally rendered in May 2011, I kinda forgot about these.
