... or "Light Sabres of Doom" :)
This came out looking kind of like a six-way light sabre with an evil
Rubik's cube in the middle.
I don't like the way the lighting on the left hand blue guy is darker than
the others, I'll have to take a look at that, but after a 2.5 hour trace,
I'm not going to redo it just yet ...
Comments?

Such images always make me want to insert a scalding remark about light beams in
vacuum :)
But I'll skip it. The image looks too good.
The... nozzles are bit too reflective IMO (uness it the pigment gives me the
false impression)

A relay node for an interstellar FTL(Faster Than Light) computer network?

Possibly .. the image has some tweaking yet before I consider it finished

I thought the same as Margus re:nozzles.
Nonetheless very striking image.
BTW, my planet surrenders to you and your
superior technology.

More specifically, I am pinpointing the 'stem' connecting the left nozzle to
the central cube ...
>I thought the same as Margus re:nozzles.
I don't know .. I kinda like 'em like that, but I'll tone it down and see
what happens.

Many thanks.

Muwahaha! You will be assimilated ... resistance is you-know-what!

Neat, but why cubical? Then again it is the only tileable polyhedron.

Took me a moment to realize what you were saying about the darker part, I see it
though. Two light gray cylinders and one dark gray.
It's an interesting looking device, figuring it's purpose is something I can't
do.

Yeah, last night I fixed it though. I had only textured one of the
cylinders, the other two were still flat white. Oops. There are all textured
the same now in my final image.

Actually, I wanted a sphere neatly split into 27 pieces (3x3x3) but also
wanted the rounded edges, so I went with 27 superellipsoids instead, as my
modelling skills aren't snazzy enough to do my original idea. I assume I
could do it using an isosurface (?) but I haven't even messed with mega yet.

Pretty cool.
If light beams are visible, it's not in dust-free, empty space, hence the
beams have to be so big and powerful to get where they're going without
substantial attentuation (where's yall's imagination??).
Is it media?
Stylistically, the idea of the refracted image of the ball in the center cube
is pretty cool, although I would like to see it a bit bigger. I had to give it
a doubletake, because I thought the ball was just in the closest corner cube
for a sec...

Thanks... I thought so.

No, just carefully textured planes. I set the normal of each plane to point
towards the camera. If you look at it long enough, the beams start looking
2D-ish, but I think the effect is nice nonetheless.

Actually, that is the reflection of the 3 frontmost nozzles. It does look
like a ball though.

You could have used 26 because the center one is blocked from all sides. That's
the kind of stuff truly efficient POVers do, but I'm a lazy inefficient
spaghetti POVer. :-)
