Okay, here's 450 cubes packed into a cubical area. Each time a cube is
generated it is checked for intersection with other cubes. Every
consecutive time a cube is found to intersect the failure rate is
incremented, if it reaches a threshold the algorithm assumes the space
is full (in this case 30).

Each cube has a random:
size (0.2-1, evenly distributed),
rotation (evenly distributed),
HLS color (hue 120-270, evenly distributed,
   lightness .25-.75, sinusoidal distribution favoring middle values,
   saturation .5-1, quadratic distribution favoring higher values),
surface normal (part crackle, bumps, wrinkles, even distribution)

parse 6m34s render 1m12s total 7m46s
total mem 3,307,666 bytes

Looks good...

but whats the volume of the outer cube and the volume of all the stacked
cubes?

(not that i dont believe none intersect!!!)

How do you do the intersection test??

Yeah could you possibly explain how this was done, I wouldn't mind working
on this style, as I'm a fan of the while style macros, is it realted to
trace (I've never used it though)?  Thanks

Yeah, I'd like to know this as well...it looks pretty amazing.  Good job.
Source?

Source will be in p.b.s-f as soon as I clean it up a little. I know it looks
like some intersect, but I am positive it's just an illusion. (I ran a (really
slow *cough cough*) render with every cube intersected once with every other
cube (for a total of n(n-1) intersections, so within a smaller bounding cube)
and nothing showed up.)

mumble mumble, I'd have to add some code and wait for it to reparse...
mumble grumble

Radians vs. Degrees. Agh! So maybe some of them do intersect. Fixed it now.

No :-(

This would be a good way to create an astroide feild for a space scene.
