Conway's Life in 3D by kirkjerk. It starts with a random 2D pattern and builds each generation on top of it.

That is wonderful but I wish it was bigger.

I guess I'd have to write it.

Well, not really ...
You could sweet talk me into some minor changes (though depending on what you have in mind, it might require even more of a beefy computer) or the source code is a link right there, and processing is, ultimately, easy to use if you have any programming experience...

It seemed to me that it was basically 2D life but plotted the time in the third dimension. Is that basically what it was doing?

[kirkjerk.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Maybe my description underneath wasn't clear?

[pentomino.livejournal.com]

Mine neither. Writing is hard.

your wish is my... err, sincerely considered suggestion.

I quadrupled the screen area, and built in a simple editor, along with the ability to save. Also, I thought the other interpretation of bigger was "zoom-in-able" so the mouse button now does that rather than regenerate a random sculpture.
