Thanks.

Agreed, this is a fun technique to explore, the patterns are endless. Usually
when I post something like this, you can guess I've already played with it a bit
and made some selections. Juxtapositioning of colors is very important IMO. I've
tried other stellations but so far none come close to this one aesthetically. I
am kind of a believer in that "let the math do the art and it will look cool"
stuff.

They can be slow renders though, when you turn up max_trace and especially when
you start using multiple colored lights instead of a white light and colored
object.

This is wide_angle BTW. Fisheye 360 would be neat because then you can tell
you're fully enclosed.

This is an old method, I did it in the dodecahedral colored mirrors and the torus
with the colored lights inside, and I guess the objets d'art were a pretty
similar technique.
