didn't someone make an explosion inc file where a solid object was
separated into parts as if it was exploding?  your pic looks like it was
all one multicolored cube that exploded.  could your code be used for
explosions somehow?  anyhow, nice pic.

"someone"?  Watch for your rejection notice from the Chris Colefax Fanclub.

Bow make an animation of the camera going through the cubes without
hitting any of them (make a macro that moves the camera forward and
checks every little step which way to go).

It sounds pretty hard, tho...
