Cool. Has a kind of 1970-80's retro futuristic look to it.

The sci-fi look is very good, and the lighting can be great with more 
rad quality. What I'm missing the most is some "access" to the 
structure, like doors or steps, and also some columns or beams to 
support the floors.

Q: What rad setting would be the magic bullet for quality?

I updated it a bit more at:
http://pterandon.blogspot.com/2005/01/trying-to-add-some-scifi-like-settings.html

I wanted it to make perfectly believable in each level (x-z plane and Y unit
cell) to be some kind of living quarters, with an outer living room area
and sleeping quarters (and elevator) on the inside.   I do in fact want to
keep it a mystery in the N * y axis:  as to how or why there are so many
individual levels, where it ends, how the whole thing is supported.  There
is supposed to be a glass cylindrical window around the whole thing, and
perhaps this isn't as well represented.  It might make sense to "support"
the windows if constructed as arcs of cylinders, even as I bristle at
explaining the Y any better.

Thanks for the interest everyone.

Greg

   There is no magic bullet for radiosity... or perhaps there is one for 
every scene... I usually do the search playing mostly with "count", 
"nearest_count" and "error_bound". I start with poor settings and try to 
find the better/fast quality by decreasing "error_bound" while 
increasing "nearest_count" and "count" slowly.
