The packing algorithm got me interested too, and I've delurked after several
years to make my first post. One even has mirrored spheres ;)

First one, simple packing, took a few seconds to parse.

Second one, variable sized spheres. 20,000 of them. Badly optimized code
took 15 hours. It taught me to save the coordinates to a file and load them
again for rendering though.

I hope I post this right....
