Cool!  A couple of years ago for the world within worlds IRTC round I hit
upon the idea of rendering one of the chips we'd designed which was inside
the box I used to do the render. Image was a cloudy semi transparent sphere
which contained a rendering of the entire chip inside the sphere floating
over the chip itself in large. Kind of the sphere over the checker plane
twisted on in on itself.  My management loved it and approved entering the
contest, but our legal department nixed it and the image as well as several
other derivative images has never seen the light of day - I did make a
couple of personal prints which hang in my apartment.

I converted from a format similar to gds though to do the whole chip - which
was very large - I transitioned to material maps once some distance from the
look at position. It looks like some images on your site are real chip data
and others possibly not or at least a layout style/process unfamiliar to me.

If it is real chip data, take care that you have been granted legal
permission to use the mask data and release images of it. Companies invest
10s of millions in a set of mask data and they can be pretty protective of
it!
