I seem to be in a fractal mood these days. This is actually the same mesh as in the last picture, only from the other side. I rendered it in Indigo this time and thanks to Indigo's fantastic instancing system, Indigo used only 1,5Gb of ram. The scene has about 62,000,000 polygons. The tiniest holes in the model can barely be seen even at full view here. So I suggest that you download the full res image (2560 x 1600) so that you can see them :)

Just discovered this on a search for my favorite fractal. Simple and beautiful!

That's impressive.
My computer only made it to the 4th iteration :)

I managed to make this solely because of instancing. It makes it much less hungry for RAM.

I forgot about the closest face to me, so I get 6 degrees of holes, maybe be I start my count wrong beginning with the first array of nine cubes with the first holes holes cut out as the first degree Menger Cube, even though I guess it is the 2nd cube formed (one can boolean subtract the first degree holes out of the first cube)

Are you sure you are counting the smallest holes?

OK, I stand corrected. I must see my optometrist and get my lenses corrected. Thanks for illustrating your count. You Rock!

Thanks :D That demonstration was a crop from the original render which is 5120 x 3200 so the smallest ones are hard to see.

You did alright to go to the 7th degree. Elsewhere I saw one to the 6th, they even made a flythrough

I quess, even if one could do so, ilterating to another degree would hardly be necessary as the extra detail could not be distinguished, not to mention the resources required, perhaps powered by a mainframe.
