If you used the same shape but a different texture the green one 
could be bread. 

I liked them all.

I like the texture on that last one; it reminds me of a wildly-glazed
(if structurally absurd) pinch-pot I made many years ago.

I really like the green texture.  For some reason the last one reminds me of
an anim I did: 2/26/2000 entitled "my first mpeg attempt" filename
"blobulous.m1v". Attached a frame.

Thanks.  It's a simple crackle texture.  When I first used it, it reminded
me of the skin of a reptile. That's until I blobbed it.

texture {
  pigment { crackle color_map { [0 color DarkGreen ][1 color Green] } }
  finish { phong .9 }
}
normal { function { pigment { crackle } } }

I attached a close up of it.

Apparently, I mis-spelt 'tori'.  As it turns out, torii means:

"(in Japan) a form of decorative gateway or portal, consisting of two
upright wooden posts connected at the top by two horizontal crosspieces,
commonly found at the entrance to Shinto temples."

Which these are definitely not.

Here are a few more shapes that aren't exactly tori, but are generated
from the same macro.

The yellow one looks like corn on the cob in a knot.  :)

Enjoy,
Richard.

I like the first and last images...
Did you use radiosity on the first...
Give it a yellow center for contrast... Maybe put it in a glass case...
Put some little spores, mold, or fungi on the big green one...

I need to lock that spelling into my limited vocabulary :-) I always took
radii and torii to be the same plural syntax.  Big mistake.  Radius has an
"i" in there already so only the one extra "i" is added.  One "i" on the end
of torus without the "us" part too then.  But I never trusted mathematicians
together with (english) language people.  Seem two different breeds.

Does.  Or a snake writhing about.
I like the orb-shaped one, would make a great hanging lamp.

Bob

Thanks.

Nope.  I did the first time, but I didn't notice a difference, so I turned
it off in later renders.  Then again, I'm not an expert with radiosity, so I
might have done something wrong.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I tend to not spend too much time on doing one
of those images, so I don't know if I'll go back and add details.  It would
look cool though... We'll see.
