Recursivity Desktop by HJ Media Studios, on Flickr

Just a CG picture I made. It's a minfig, playing with a minifig-minifig, who's playing with a minifig-minifig-minifig... It's minifigs all the way down.

This has a suitable resolution for use as a high-quality desktop. Enjoy!

Cool, LEGO like a Mandelbrot set. Who would have thought

Thanks for sharing!

PS: Can you make a video of it....eternal zoom-in?

Very nice! I set it as desktop background.

Superkalle: I suppose I could, but the render time wouldn't be worth the payoff. I am very glad, however, that it's already found a loving home on someones's desktop!

It's a bit too bright for my tastes as far as desktop backgrounds are concerned, but you did a great job on the rendering.

Maybe use as log on background is better.

I saw an episode of sponge bob with flying dutchman have similar idea and very funny.

With a higher resolution image it would be easy to realize a little animated gif with the infinite loop.

Another thing that would help is the inclusion of the whole hand of the bigger minifig in the image.

The only problem is that there is much difference in size between the two minifigs, so that it is necessary to zoom a lot (probably I would have opted for a bigger "toy" minifig). But if the image is enough big, it is not a problem.

Yeah, that was something like that I was thinking. Maybe a rendering at just a few "zoom levels" if necessary.

I would love to put that on the frontpage. It would drive people nuts

I guess the demand is there. I suppose I'll just have to do it.

That's the spirit

And here we go...

The actual image I rendered was too large to upload, so I had to make do with a web-optimized version...

Great work!

What do you thik about an half-size one with more colours?

And a small one (with the blank parts cropped) to use as avatar?

Yes - really nice...

Can you make it a tiny bit smaller, just a tad - perhaps just cropping out some of the blue background to the top left. (I don't think avatar small however, since animated avatars arent allowed on EB anyway)? And perhaps with a few more steps for a smoother animation. And a little slower zooming. And just a bit smoother surfaces on the minifig

All right. The minifig works best in the center due to the zooming, but I can easily make the whole thing slower and smaller.
