This rather disturbing image was rendered with POV, but the cubic_spline
that controls the sphere_sweep was designed in Python.
#Python 2.33
from math import *
clock,count=0.0, 0
deltay= .7
amp, deltaamp=5, .98
diameter=1.5
while clock<2:
  clock=clock+.05
  count=count+1
  angley=sin(count/2)
  x=int(cos(angley)*count*1000)/1000.0
  z=int(sin(angley)*count*1000)/1000.0
  angley=angley+deltay
  deltay=deltay*.98
  y=int(sin(amp)*count*1000)/1000.0
  amp=amp*deltaamp
  deltaamp=deltaamp*.96
  diameter=diameter*.95
  print "<",x,",",y,",",z,">,",diameter

print count

Disturbing is right! I don't see a checker plane or a sphere anywhere!

The spline is attractive towards the edges. Welcome to the hobby.

Textures and colours are well chosen.  The framing of the picture is 
rather unusual.  First post maybe but not your first picture.
