I wanted to do something completely different, and came up with this scene :)
The plane as well as the sphere are failed iso-surface tries (for the same
object i wanted to create), but the sphere looked like some evil face to me
so I thought I post it here. I only changed the color map from the original
try, and wanted to try the focal blur feature. A mistake in the color map
clipped the top part of the lower iso-surfase to white, and the bad focal
blur settings makes it almost look like fountains :)

render time = 40 minutes on p3-933

I tried creating a tile-able hedge (for a game), something completely
different, as I said. I thought I could somehow use sin and cos to make it
repeatable, and exchanged x, y, z, sin, cos and sqrt at random in the example
sphere from the docs (as I have no idea yet what effect functions have on the
output..) but it always looks interesting. The face I got was a sphere made
of many thin rings, but the focal blur made it all blurry in the pic i posted.
