Is not the grail, but maybe a Julia of it could be something a bit like this?  :D

I got this when trying to expand to 3D this results of my 2D Kaliset formula multiplied by a complex number (scale & rotation), I just uploaded to my Kaliset thread (http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=7116.msg32977#msg32977):

Then instead of doing the sphere inversion, I used the ballfold part of the amazing box formula (boxfold f parameter set to 0). The fold used instead is abs on just one axis, then adding 90 degrees rotations. I'm including the parameters below.
I used a small min R value to fill a "hole" produced on the top of spheres (still some semicircle cracks are visible). I guess it's because of a render problem, I think R=0 should produce closed spheres.
Many differents results can be produced with this method, changing scaling, angles and Julia values... I'll be uploading more later.

Note that I had to turn off "vary DE stop on FOV"
