#declare Sphere1 = x;
#declare I = 0;
#while ( I < 1 )

#declare Sphere2 = vaxis_rotate(Sphere1, 1, 360*I) ;
   // the object
   sphere { Sphere1, 0.4 pigment { checker scale .1 } }
   // the rotated object
   sphere { 0, 0.2 pigment { checker scale .1 } translate Sphere2 }
   // box rotated twice as far out
   box { -0.25, 0.25 pigment { bozo scale .1 } translate Sphere2*2 }
   // the arbitrary axis
   cylinder { 0, 1, 0.25 pigment { rgb y } }
   // insert your own fractal here...
#declare I = I + 0.1;
#end
