I’ve been having a ton of fun playing around with this app, and although I don’t think the developer is paying much attention to maintaining it for the future (there have been no updates since 2010) I love it in its current state and would definitely recommend taking it for a spin.

This app provides you with an innovative gesture-based control system that you can use to create fantastic 3D imagery, comprised of a variety of different shapes and what appear to be fractal patterns and formations.

I also really like the way you can use one, two, or even three fingers at a time to warp, twist, and otherwise distort your imagery to achieve some very unique and dramatic results.
