While playing, created attached images. The right one by accident...

Last part of the function { pattern {crackle ...} } used was:

         warp {
             it_amount <1/3,1/3,1/3>
             it_omega 0.87 it_lambda 4.7 it_scale 1/5
         }
         scale <1/6,1,1>
         warp { cylindrical }
         warp { spherical }    // Oops

Aiming again for shapes that are not really shapes in a usual way. 
Suppose yesbird's recent gravity toy post in the same vein.

The isosurface gradient set low (1.3), accuracy really rough at 0.05, 
but with isosurface jitter (jittering within accuracy range) on - and 
aggressive AA (antialias_min_depth=2 +r4) sampling. yuqk only features 
are involved.
