Just something that was rolling around in the back of my head for some time.
There's still a lot of improvements I'd like to add, but here it is for now.
All randomly generated from a macro.

Nice one!

The square wooden door looks a bit out of place.

Intriguing...  Reminds me of Escher's work.

Now... Why did I think that too?

Oh yes. A kind of building blocks lego. This could become something very 
interesting. I note that the dome is not appearing very often. The square 
door should have some semi-circular decoration above it.

Nice!
I've made years ago a endless house, but your palace is superb!

It's what might arise if Escher tried to illustrate Gormenghast. Minus the
illusions. :)

Very nice, too.

Thanks, everyone.

I started thinking about Escher, too, after I started working on it.  I thought
about going for some minor illusions, but that seemed complicated.

I think I've improved the doors, but now there are perhaps too many doors and
not enough windows.  Unfortunately, the project will have to halt here for now
until I'm more caught up on other things.

Big doors = too massive. Windows without gratings = too bare. Space = too
cluttered. Radiosity = too splotchy (used 3.6, right? Try increasing
max_trace_level).

I liked the previous shot better actually.

Not to *massive* I think, just too common.

Admitted.

Admitted.

Admitted--these are not "final" render settings.

I agree, but mostly because I need to tweak the frequency of various elements to
reduce the cluttered feeling.
