Doh!

Hmmmmmphhhh...... blah....  erm...   Damn! >:(

How could this be done then?   Defining a 2D fractal is something pretty
possible, now, how could I possibily create a 3D fractal?  Hmmm.... 
since the placement of the sphere is determined by a simple sinusoidal
function, I believe I could use a isofunction or whatever you call it to
make the whole thing One object with almost no RAM of use and Only CPU
calculations...  Ok, I have no idea what an isofunction is I will read
right on about it, I know it could do it.  But wow, gee, is it possible
to make a fractal isofuntion?  Ok, ok, I have to read some...

Thanks,
  Simon
