I've seen Ben's very nice menger's view.
I've also made some more, I especially like the one with spheres.
I'm sorry for the file's size, but I couldn't lower the resolution, I 
like the details to much. :-)

Wow, those are luscious renders.  Thanks for the compliment on mine.
I'm glad someone believed that it was actually a view of a Menger sponge. :)
I might have a bit tougher time figuring out a way to produce results
similar to these.  While I did think to alternate between spheres and cubes
before, I never thought to leave certain objects at lower levels of
recursion.  That's a great idea.

P.S.   I say, if you've got something good, nobody's going to complain about
somewhat large file size.

Wow, this is incredible! Can you post the source? :)

Well JC, I couldn't figure out how to make what you did, but I did 
get something.  Can you figure out how I did it?

One day, while I was slogging through the electrons, "Ben T. Scheele"

I agree.  What I'd like to see in this picture is a sweep of color moving 
across the cube frame, like a color wheel, only in 3-d . . .

I think I can pretty much figure it. You skipped some cubes at random ?
I changed my macro to give it a try, I post the result.
I'm also posting the source in p.t.scene-files, the funny thing is that 
the code is really short.

Nice details. How many spheres? Memory use?


I'll grap this oportunity to plug my old interactive Menger panorama, if 
somebody didn't catch it the first time 'round.

It was some 575000 spheres, I don't remember memory use, but it was 
600Mo or so. Render time about 15 minutes on my AMD 2800.

Hello JC,
Thank you for the nice images, but also for posting the source. I'm sure 
many of us can learn a lot of such a nice, and indeed rather short code.
