Hi all.
It's a new version without the sphere, using a pointlight inside the cube
instead.
I've added some rubies and a plane for the ground.
The lights use fade distance and fade power.
Hope you like it.

Looking good! What's the render time on something like this?

I absolutely love it. I have personally worked a little recently with some
stained glass surrounded by lead however this is stunning and makes half of
me want to try a lot harder and the other half of me want to quite and leave
it to people like yourself.

IMHO (Very humbled indeed)it looks slightly strange having the very dark and
strong shadow behind the cube. I am not sure how it would look but I would
be interested to see how it would appear with just the light from within,
like a lantern sort of thing I guess. The only reason I mention it is that
I love the pattern given out onto the plane. No criticism really, just a
thought.

    Ooooh, nice! You do know that it would be a helluva job for a jeweller 
to produce this?    ;)

At 800x600: 2 minutes and 1 second.
Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (2.21 GHz each
processor) and 1 Gb of ram.
Software: WinXP and the latest beta of Povray 3.7.

I still have to try it in Linux, using a 64 bits OS (Sabayon).

Thank you Malcolm.
Well, these are only some tori and cylinders for the cube and spheres for
the rubies, a plane, three materials and 2 lights. I'm sure that working
with actual lead and stained glass is much more difficult.

My first try was at using only one light inside the cube, but the cube
itself looked weird. The pattern given onto the plane was beautiful and
I've tried to keep both elements (the cube and the pattern) in the scene.

Hi Steve, thanks. I suppose that something very similar had been produced in
the past as a jewell.

From the wikipedia:
"The earliest known example of the Flower of Life symbol is possibly two and
a half thousand years old. Throughout human history, philosophers, artists,
and architects around the world have known the FOL for its perfect form,
proportion, and harmony. It is considered by many to be a symbol of sacred
geometry, said to contain ancient, religious value depicting the
fundamental forms of space and time. In this sense, it is a visual
expression of the connections life weaves through all mankind, believed by
some to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living
things."

It is indeed very beautiful!
How would you tackle this Steve? Filigree?
