looks great!
What is the render-time? And what software did you use to model this?

Its modelled in Maya. rendertime is about 24 hours and it only reached SL 12,xx. But its enough in this case.

Great render mate. I really like the cube angles.
It look similar to those clay tablets with that early writing. Cool.

Nice space. I imagine jumping in there over all those soft cubes.

wow, very nice render!!!
It's a almost desktop wallpaper.
If the boxes were moniter, it would be good another.

If those cubes were made of chocolate I think you might really be on to something.
In any case it is a very good image.
Alternate materials that could also be interesting are pink bubble gum, marshmallow, cheese (with some SSS)...
The possibilites are endless with this format. Perhaps viewers should vote on materials. This piece is very evocative. It would be interesting to see what other people read into it.
I have to go get something to eat now, mmmh chocolate, yum.
I made myself hungry.

Thanks alot guys, but it was really only for fun. Spent an hour or so on
modelling. Actuallu, i did it 4 or 5 times. Maya crashed all the time when I
was doing the last step. ;
Leonardo. No plugins used. I statred to model the room, then I just
extruded boxes out of it. (I just found out that extrude has a random-
setting). Then I just applied bevel on the whole thing. Done.
