Hi everyone!
Thought I'd post this render. It's based on Pascal's Triangle. The green
blocks represent odd numbers, while the blue blocks represent the even
ones. It's not exactly a true Pascal's Triangle (with numbers higher
than 2), but rather a binary form to show the pattern of even and odd
numbers. Of course the incidental pattern is Sierpinski's Gasket :)
Here's the basic code:
//begin code
#declare obj=sphere{0,.5}
union{
#local Z=1;
#while(Z<16)
#local X=0;
#while(X<Z)
#local t1=
inside(obj,<X-1,0,Z-1>);
#local t2=
inside(obj,<X,0,Z-1>);
#local obj=
union{
object{obj}
#if(t1+t2=1)
box{-.5,.5 translate<X,0,Z>}
#end
}
#local X=X+1;
#end
#local Z=Z+1;
#end
}
object{obj pigment{rgb .7}}
//end code
This image took 25m 21s to render on my P4 1.6ghz machine. Focal
blur_samples was set at 100, and there were two 2x2 area_lights. Blocks
are Round_Box_Unions (very slow to parse, even if the object was
predeclared).
Questions and comments are always welcome~
