Creates random globes that look somewhat alien/organic. Recursive module that scans from bottom to top, sometimes splitting, sometimes not. Tries to keep angle within range to be printable without supports but of course at the top where it goes horizontal you are going to get some dangling bits. Lots of parameters you can adjust to create different-looking globes, post any good ones.

For example, try varying the split probability, the size ratio, the number of starting trees, where they start, the formula for the radius, ...

Latest version designs a more printable object with a pointed top instead of a sphere by adding an extra `sin(theta)` term to the x and y coordinates. It also tracks leftmost and rightmost branches so you can add something to them, in this case a short peg for hanging something.
