Find the Sweet Spot

This challenge will be a little different from the rest in the past. We're going to combine tweaking a flame with some of the other challenge types we've done before.

Below you will find a set of starter parameters. Please read the rules that follow carefully.

• Transforms T1 & T2 may not be moved, re-sized, deleted, rotated, or otherwise modified.
• No post transforms may be used on T1 and T2
• Variations can be added, but the given amount of Linear on T1 & T2 must remain.
• You are free to add one (1) transform in which you have full freedom of use. i.e. Moving, translation, rotation, post-transform, etc.

So, in a nutshell: you cannot modify the base transforms aside from adding variations and changing weight/xaos levels. You may or may not choose to add a single transform in which you can do anything you like to it. Sometimes it can be quite difficult to find something beautiful trapped inside params like these, other times, everything just falls into place. I wish you the best on finding the "sweet spot"!
