Actually, the reason the stalks are visible is because of the way the components
are shifted along the z-axis. I use the following macro to do the shifting:
#macro Z(A,I) #local B = A * (cos(I * 4 + pi / 3) + cos(I * 1.5)) / 4; B #end
where A should probably be better named 'R' for radius, or distance from center,
and I would be better named A, or total angle from center. I was just playing
around and was rather suprised with the results (as I often am with my work)
