Went astray from the original intent but came out halfway decent IMO. So
maybe the ground is a little bumpy and the trees and clouds are totally
fake... but it's better than a checkered floor. :)

Sponge is an isosurface! :))) Ground is too.

the trees)

Comments? Comment! heh

Grrrrreat !!!
Making it with an isosurface is a truly great idea, since it solves
the memory problem very elegantly.  And the scene setup is nice too...
Could we have a look at the source ?

Add a parking lot and folks with briefcases; like they're going to a
menger sponge office building. :)

I like the scenery and the colors very much, a closeup view from just above the
surface would be nice...

Very nice, I like the feel of the whole thing. You've got the sky just
right. Intrigued by the trees, how were they done?
All it needs now is a few million blades of grass!

I love the idea.
im working on a menger animation

Don't they all?

It looks really good, like the kind of thing you'd see in a TV advert 
for one of those new towns designed for cars.

    Isosurface!?! What? Little isosurface cubes stuck together? If you have
made it all of one isosurface, you really need to source us before our heads
explode.

    ...please....

No.  It's a combination of triangle waves functions at multiple
frequencies.  Simple but ingenious idea, nonetheless.
