Hello,

Here is a little pyramid I've made with the help of a macro from the
internet. It took about one day to parse and render.

I use an iteration 8 pyramid sponge 25 times to build another pyramid, which
I use 25 times to make another, and I do this once again resulting in 15,625
of those iteration 8 pyramids using my 3 loops.

The way I do it creates about 8 superfluous pyramids per loop (which were
uncounted in the 25 figure), so about 512 useless RAM sucking pyramids for
the whole thing (8 in loop1 8times in loop2 8times in loop3).

I'd like to get rid of them. Any help is appreciated.

Here is the untersheisse demo image and the source (therefore making this
inappropriate for P.B.S-F).

ian
