Menger with Depth of Field - a photo on Flickriver

Close-up of a modified* "Level 2" Menger sponge. Sunflow, the rendering app, allows for depth-of-field control and this is a test of that functionality. Focus point is on the far cube, of course. [The one I rendered here does not have that DOF function enabled, for comparison.]

*Modified in that I purposely subdivided the blocks of the sponge to slightly less than 1/3 (3/10 instead of 3/9) to create the gaps between sub-blocks.

The recursion was purposely stopped at 3 iterations (yes, a "Level 2") to keep the object count down. This image has 8,000 objects (20^3), but at 4 iterations, that balloons to 160,000 objects!

Modeled in Structure Synth and rendered in sunflow. Better viewed large (1680x1050).
