This is damn nice, this is exactly the kind of image that inspired me to
try raytracing a few years ago - there were a lot of very similar ones
featuring in amiga pd demo's at the time (all tho they almost all used
the traditional checker plane :)
i tried doing my own, in moray, with spheres in a torus, but the effect
was a little disapointing (hence its not posted here)...

This is a picture of a 5x4 grid of tinted mirrored spheres within a
non-tinted mirrored sphere(cool reflection warping happens). This
picture
features a rainbow spectrum of full intensity primary colors and
thousands
of reflections and warped reflections.
This picture is not as bright and psychedlic as the last one was.
Ive tweaked the colors of a few spheres to give the picture a more
neutral balance
of colors. I thought the last picture was too red / orange looking. I
made this one look
a little more blue and less red. I deleted one of the two light
sources which makes
the picture less bright also.. I like darker pictures for
backgrounds... However
there are still MANY rainbow color effects and the neat
warping/bending of the
reflections... The spheres are also very distinct in this picture too.
I used a different
viewing perspective too.
Some things to notice in the picture...
There are "chains" of reflected spheres up and down the sides of all
the "actual" spheres....
Warping of sphere reflections.
This picture is like the fractal geometries of mathmatics. The more
you increase the resolution
or zoom the camera into a particular section the more neat patterns of
reflections you see...
I posted the source in povray.binaries.images get it there. I found
this out when I traced
this picture at 4096x3072 which resulted in a 37megabyte picture. It
took only 3 hours
at 4092x3072 res on my amdk6-3 450.
This image was modeled in moray 3.1
