This is what I found to be the case... I had a plane right below the box, set 
to color Gray50 (rgb .5).... when I removed the plane I got the infinate 
images fading to a black... when I put the plane back in with a almost black 
color (Gray05 or rgb .05) Then I got the image I was hoping to see...

The bummer behind this is that you can't put a checkered plane or anything 
under it.... this technique can't be used to put a small "cube of infinity" on 
someone's desk or something....

Oh well...
