Given the other recent posts on Menger Sponge renders, here is something 
very basic I did back in 2003.

Very colorful but neat. Looks like a christmas tree ornament ;)

Thats very cool! I absolutely love things like that.
It kindof reminds me of the TreepMap control on CodeProject.

Would you mind posting the source?

Thanks!

Thanks.  As with all such things it went through many iterations and I 
don't have the exact code that produced this image.  Plus it was pre 
V3.7 so there'll be some changes.  I do have what it morphed into and 
will look at cleaning that up and reversing it to the same point or 
something similar.

It was pretty simple.  Just randomly deciding at each level for each 
recursion whether to put in a simple superellipsoid or to subdivide 
further.  The rest is producing some pretty metallic textures which was 
based on code pinched from a guy called Alex who I haven't seen post 
here in a while.

I'll have a look at it next bit of free time.
