You would probably have found it easier to look in the \scenes\macro directory of the
POV
3.1installation. Pyramid.pov and pyramid2.pov create just this shape.

I think you might be referring to "pyramid.pov" and "pyramid2.pov" which are
included scenes file with POV under \scenes\macros. They use spheres to demonstrate
the macro used to generate this scene, credit is given to Sven Hilscher originally
and to Chris Young for the POV include scene file.

Why do you say that? I know that this DePetrillo character is the one that fooled
us all, so I responded to his message and requested that it and all previous ones
by him be removed. I am not lost. Have a nice day, Spider.

The nature of a fractal is that it is always the same, it's just
extended, and uses more sameness to produce the image (if that
makes sense).

I would say this is not he same fractal. This one is easy, having spheres
branch away recursively. The original... The structure is clearly different.
I'm not even sure how to go about creating it.

It's the famous Sierpinsky-triangle.
