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.
