For this kind of plot you should use ParametricPlot3D from the
Graphics`ParametricPlot3D` package.
For example:

<< Graphics`ParametricPlot3D`;
ParametricPlot3D[{Sin[u]*Cos[v],Cos[u]*Cos[v],
    Cos[u]^2*BesselJ[1,7*v]},{u,0,2Pi, Pi/20},
    {v,0,Pi,Pi/10}];

To get your picture to look like those on
http://silver.szote.u-szeged.hu/math/Gallery/Creatures/crea.html you will
have to play with the options of ParametricPlot3D. You can see all the
options like this:

Options[ParametricPlot3D]

With kind regards, Daniel.
