There is one rgb 1 light at the center, and each pair of parallel planes
is colored with some color from colors.inc. How many times can I say
color?
I'm surpised how jpeg-friendly it was.

When I was just a kid my mother would have my sister and I make
decorations
for Easter by gluing colored scraps of tissue paper onto inflated
balloons in
layers. Once the glue dried the balloon was deflated and removed,
leaving the
tissue paper 'egg shell'. They looked *exactly* like that image (in
close-up).

Outstanding! Quite an impressionistic/ modern feel. Who said cubism is
dead?

Tnx!
They would be very modern and expensive paints... it looks like some
sort of high-grade plasticine material to me.

It was him. Let's get 'em.

I think it was the person who first laid eyes on those ugly black, beige, and white
fiberglass fruit bowls from the 50's...

Wow. Now this is a departure from what we've seen lately. I really like this.
I hope you explore the technique a little. Different shapes and different
color selection methods can offer a lot of variety here. (as well as a
cylindrical or wide_angle camera setting)

Agreed, this is a fun technique to explore, the patterns are endless. Usually
when I post something like this, you can guess I've already played with it a bit
and made some selections. Juxtapositioning of colors is very important IMO. I've
tried other stellations but so far none come close to this one aesthetically. I
am kind of a believer in that "let the math do the art and it will look cool"
stuff.
They can be slow renders though, when you turn up max_trace and especially when
you start using multiple colored lights instead of a white light and colored
object.
This is wide_angle BTW. Fisheye 360 would be neat because then you can tell
you're fully enclosed.
This is an old method, I did it in the dodecahedral colored mirrors and the torus
with the colored lights inside, and I guess the objets d'art were a pretty
similar technique.
