yes, how to do this depends on what you mean by asymmetric.

actually its defined with respect to the origin <0,0,0>,
not the to the center of any particular object. Note that
translating an object *after* applying the density to its
interior will also move the attached density.

Either create the original geometry off-center (e.g.,
sphere {<a,b,c>,1>}) or translate the density itself
(e.g. density {cylindrical ... translate <a,b,c>}).

This way the density will still be symmetrical, just
not with respect to the center of your object.
