Description
Modeled in 3dsmax, rendered in Octane render.A logarithmic spiral of perforated spheres, created using Superflow maxscript in 3dsmax. Exported to Octane render, and rendered using the Direct Lighting/Diffuse kernel in about 30 min on my Nvidia Geforce GTX 660.

I am _so_ far behind on my subscriptions that I'm just going through the whole stack image by image with no indicator of what group or artist an image comes from. I still knew right away that this was yours. I really like the DOF, though I find it a bit artificial where it gets extreme.

direct lighting/diffuse kernel... So i take theres no gi going on?

It's GI. Octane just has several types of algorithms to solve GI. Pathtracing and PMC are unbiased. The Direct Lighting, is the term they use for biased GI solution.

That's cool!Looks so real!
Btw, if you want to avoid intersecting spheres check out the concept of a Doyle Spiral: www.flickr.com/photos/fdecomite/2388469422/

Thanks. In this particular arrangement, I wasn't trying to avoid intersections; I actually invited them, for reasons of organic aesthetic. However, that Doyle Spiral looks very interesting. I'll have to look into how to do this with maxscripting. If I come up with anything, I'll definitely let you know. Thanks again!

Were you looking for the mathematical representation of morels?
It's splendid, wow

I was going to say that this is an interesting iteration of an archimedean spiral ... but upon further investigation it appears that there is, indeed, a geometric progression. Very nice work again LX! I really can get lost in these designs -- and that's a good thing.
