Rendering of a Sierpinski pyramid. The pyramids have a square base. The number of pyramids depends on the iteration depth. After iteration x the Sierpinski pyramid has 5^x pyramids. The rendering shows a downward view of the top. The shading of the fractal corresponds to gold. The rendering took 01:55:22 hours (6878 seconds; with GeForce RTX 3090 Gigabyte Eagle OC). This pyramid should represent iteration level 8. The light design was done with ray tracing, which is why the rendering took so long. The sampling (antialiasing) is 40.
