POV-Ray for Mere Mortals [Maker Faire 2006]

I gave a computer graphics tutorial at the MakerFaire about making 3D graphics using POV-Ray, a free, cross-platform ray-tracing program. I called it POV-Ray for Mere Mortals.

What is the name given to the object you use as an example on this post's picture? I have seen it used before, talking about infinity, or recycling video feeds and i love it. Does it have a name?

That's a 3D version of the Koch Snowflake, that I drew with spheres rather than triangles.

I think that it's very interesting how fractal shapes emerge from the algorithm, not from the shape of the objects that are being repeated.
