      Try this:

      // Inital position
      { x -3 y -3 color #0099FF } mat

      rule mat {
      6 * { x 1 hue 20 } 6 * { y 1 hue 20 } split
      // Ground plane
      //{ s 10 10 0.01 color #FFFFFF x 0.2 y 0.2 z -9 } box
      }

      // X-split
      rule split w 5 maxdepth 4 > square {
      { s 1/3 1 1.2 x -1 hue 5 z 0.01} split
      { s 2/3 1 1.2 x 1/4 hue 30 z 0.01 } split
      }

      // Y-split
      rule split w 5 maxdepth 4 > square {
      { s 1 1/3 1.2 y -1 hue 10 z 0.01 } split
      { s 1 2/3 1.2 y 1/4 hue 20 z 0.01 } split
      }

      // No split
      rule split { square }

      rule square {
      { s 0.95 0.95 0.1 } box
      }

      Very nice job subblue, I really like your use of depth of field, this image has a highly artistic look. Some time ago I was doing something similar but in real time(with my own custom raytracer), if you want to have the program just drop me a mail. In the mean time this are some of my renders (with jet another image distilling program(Raydiant engine)): www.flickr.com/photos/26137209@N00/

      Simply stunning. I think that I saw some of these on your website at subblue.com - great stuff you've got there!

      I even shared it on FriendFeed: friendfeed.com/smluniverse/0fadc600/mathematical-and-gene... and lots of people love it!

      Kudos!!!

      Tom, this is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.

      I used your script as a stepping off point to make this:
      Microcity v2.04.2 (IR sim).
