Yes, eventually we had to do the 3D version!
I had some papers on my pile (Well, _one_ of my piles) related to this.

How much more difficult was it to do the spherical space-filling version?


I'm also curious if this can be massaged into a macro that is capable of filling
any given arbitrary shape.

Then we could use it to build stone walls, layered geologic strata, sandstone
sculptures, etc.

Do a test scene with smooth spheres, and then enhance it by replacing them all
with isosurface rocks, pebbles, and sand.

A bowl of grapes.   That sort of thing.   :)


Excellent work - you ought to be proud.
