Here is another math function.  It is actually the same function as one I
posted before; however, this one is truly three dimensional (y coordinate is
a function of x and z), and the other was just a two dimensional graph
rotated around.  To do this I just used sqrt(x*x+z*z) to get the distance
from the centre.  One of the reasons I did this was so that I could blob the
spheres together, and I liked this effect.  It did not take as long to
render as I thought it would using blobs and focal blur.  I used corel to
blend the background in so that the exact end of the blob is harder to see.
I hope you like it, and any questions or comments, good or bad, are welcome.

This is giving me a headache. Not your fault, though. I was up half the
night helping my wife with Calculus for her test today. The problem is that
I do *NOT* know Calculus, so I had to learn the processes from the book and
then try to help her.

That looks good.
I think that would look interesting as an animation, rotating around the
center.
Keep it up!!!
