Borg cube droped out from warp 9 - ahad of us!
Comander Riker, evasive maneuvers!


( this image should be viewed in .png, since .jpg compressed version looks 
totaly different - background is messed up :/ )

.png version is[1] on my www - http://www.raf256.com/3d/image/a00121/  
and also .jpg - i.e. if some poor outloo er... I ment, news readers, can 
not display attachments with several dots in name.

I also will put on www another version of this image (in few minutes) - 
Borg Cube Decloaking, with is better? I personaly think - the one with 
background.

Any comments welcommed :)


[1] or will be there in ~15 min from now

Well, it exposes the limitations of relying on texturing for details
that should be modeled.  If you hadn't said it was the Borg cube, I
would have taken it for an abstract work.

It was for the SCC-3 (limit 256 bytes of source code ;)

I'm planning to d oa real Borg Cube later

Does 256 bytes not allow for a loop of boxes, even with cylinders, spheres
and torus's?  If you can make a plant ...  :o)

I played with fractals long time ago, and this was my first "borg cube", 
but  I could try to make some L system that will produce maze-like-grid, 
L systems have suprisingly short code.

In fact this image also uses some style of fractal recursion, but the 
effect is not so nice. 
  X is an cells pattern
  C is an checker of B
  B is either C or X depending or randomness and recursion level
  box and tunel are covered in X


I also tried to build side of cube as a grid of N..400 cylinders, N-th 
cylinder was translated by <N mod 20, int(N/20)> and rotate by 0 or 90*y
randomly. Then put a cube of 6 object like above. Then make smaller one, 
with pigment y and ambient 1 to work as light source. And this code AFAIR 
was >256 already. To have nice effect it will also require radiosity to 
better show green light from inside of cube, and an normal light source, 
so I will do it as normal scene (not for SCC3). 

It is nice how SCC3 can inspire :)

..in C

0 or 90*z
