Top gray one is of blobs. Bottom wires are of spheres. Is there a wire macro
out there?

I don't know if there is a wire macro, but MegaPOV has a sphere_sweep 
object that might be useful for this(although it can be slow), and I 
believe there is a wire isosurface function included in the isosurface 
patch, but I rarely use the built in functions so I don't know for sure.

A wire macro would be pretty easy to make using the spline patch. If you 
want to use official POV, there are a few spline include files out there.

They look very good but harsh on resources...
As for a macro, not that I know of.

Shouldn't those cords touch?

Yeah, technically they should, but I didn't like the way they looked when
they did touch. I'm going to shrink them down and use them on my www page,
it looks better that way, more like wiring.

Perhaps you could look at Ron Parker's TorSpline macro, particularly if you
want thin, smoothly curved results.

Otherwise, my upcoming Spline Macro file includes various features to create
spline-based objects, including blobs, linked objects, and torii segments
similar to Ron's macro, but extended to also allow the creation of coiled
objects.  Preliminary versions of the macro file are 'out there', although I
haven't released it publicly yet...announcements will be made (hopefully
soon, but then I always say that!) when the file is ready for download.

I can create a similar effect with my bezier.inc file, it wraps a curve around
another bezier curve. I hope to have the file and tutorial ready for general
cosnumption soon
