My first image posted here. An abstract thing; I wrote some code in C++ to
generate a random collection of points within a vaguely galaxy-ish
distribution and then rendered each point as a reflective sphere. There
are thousands here. The camera is placed within the distribution with a
very wide angle and rendered with focal blur. The background is 1+blue so
it appears white but looks blue in reflections. The spheres have no
texture of their own, just reflection.
Comments?

Awesome image. It's my desktop background.
How long was the render?

Very nice artistic effect imho!
Technical sugestions, blue reflections can be done with
reflection <0,0,1>
also, the spheres could be places in SDL loop using rand_gauss thingy.

Well this wasn't intended as an image actually, I was fiddling with a random
network - I was wondering what the likely distribution of data traffic
would be in a future galaxy-wide internet. I produced a galaxy-ish
distribution with links organised depending on distance between points and
some clustering, but I got sidetracked and abandoned the model in favour of
rendering the random distribution ;) The distribution was produced in C++
in this case, but you're right, I could have used the SDL random stream to
produce something indistinguishable. I would have, but I actually had the
data set hanging around before I thought of doing the image.
Glad you like it though.
