IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

 Can you live in a fractal ??! I Think you can !!? You have to arrange your
space in an orthodox way but it will be exiting and stimulating in the long run
....


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

 Punched a few holes in the old cube thing. Made sure there was no internal
geometry created and stuffed them with windows.
 Arranged the basic Appartment in a bigger Menger Sponge pattern. Removing the
skylight's and windows that were hidden by other App's.
 Applied a Menger bump Pattern, 2 lovers and a horse.
 I tried first to put a light in each window but Max wouldn't let me render with
400+ OmniLights (Bastard !!?), so I ended up with a light in each corner. 
 A dusty sun with some volume tries to shine down into the courtyard onto
enprisoned plants.
 The 2 columns, the plants and the horse takes away some of the dry mathematical
look of the building.
 Allthough this image was made with Max my credits go to the original POV
creators, they made me think in procedural shapes, a gift I value much
especially whenever I use MaxScript today.

 All models & props are made by Me, exept the Horse which I bought from DeEspona
(www.deespona.com).
