I would like to represent the densest sphere packing in dimension 3
as the following picture, for a beamer presentation.



Sphere packing



Is Tikz the way to go for it? It is not a real 3D drawing since I only want a fixed representation of the picture, right?



Thank you for your help.

    Welcome to TeX.SX. Questions about how to draw specific graphics that just post an image of the desired result are really not reasonable questions to ask on the site. Please post a minimal compilable document showing that you've tried to produce the image and then people will be happy to help you with any specific problems you may have. See minimal working example (MWE) for what needs to go into such a document.

By nesting 2 for-loops one could do something like this:



documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz

begindocument
begintikzpicture
foreach x in 4,...,0
foreach y in x,...,4
draw[fill=white] (0.6*x,-y+0.3*x) circle (0.55) (-0.6*x,-y+0.3*x) circle (0.55);


endtikzpicture
