  For example this way:

#declare MaxHeight=20;
#declare Radius=5;

#declare ind=0;
#while(ind<ObjectsAmnt)
  #declare fact=ind/(ObjectsAmnt-1);
  #declare Angle=MaxAngle*fact;
  #declare Height=MaxHeight*fact;
  object { MyObject translate -z*Radius+y*Height rotate y*Angle }
  #declare ind=ind+1;
#end

):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
