Hey All,
    It's been a while since I last posted an image, and with the dearth of
posts here lately, I figured it was as good of a time as any.  Seeing Hugo's
and JC's Menger sponges constructed with spheres made me realize how simple
it is to make one.  So I made one last night.  I wanted to do something
different, so I switched from non-reflective spheres to reflective cubes.  I
put the camera at the edge of one of the large openings and used a 180
degree camera.  By doing so, I unexpectedly also ended up fulfilling my
desire to create a (seemingly) infinite reflection image.  I put the
max_trace_level to 15, and threw in radiosity for good measure.  I rendered
at 1400x1400 AA 0.3 in about 5.5 hours.  You can resize the image I've
included to your desktop size if you want to use it as a wallpaper.  Enjoy.
