Way to go! I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to do it myself. My idea was
to put all the boxes like this:

((box)|(box)|(box)|(box))

and then multiply the torus to it afterward. I've had success getting an even
result all-around, but the "blobbing" of the objects is not working out correctly.
Perhaps it is the funny torus I made:

(sqr(sqr(x)+sqr(y)-.75)+sqr(z*2)+.95)

I know I have blobbed torii together before, I just don't have the code anymore ;P
I think I will find another way to make a torus (or use the one off the isosurface
website ( http://www.public.usit.net/rsuzuki/e/povray/iso/ ).
