I don't know about very, but I thought it was fairly intriguing.

Oh, and the reason it's so small is that I cranked up the media settings 
to smooth out the media, and wanted it to render some time this month 
<grin>

I meant no MP+ glows :P

Just in case anyone is remotely interested, the quick way I figured out 
for building a regular tetrahedral pyramid of spheres was just to place a 
sphere at half of the vertices of a cube, evenly spaced 
I.e.   <-1,-1,-1> <1,-1,1> <-1,1,1> <1,1,-1>  For a 2 unit cube centred 
on the origin, then you just scale up the spheres until the two a y=-1 
just touch.  In this case, scale them to ((sqrt(8))/2)

Did that make any sense?

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
