Actually it was only the scc3 that was time consuming, now that I
have the scripts set up things work moderately smoothly with the most
time consuming point being the final www page.

See
   http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/surfaces/supershape3d/
These are an extension to superellipsoids. The idea would be that a macro
or two would be provided that implemented the supershape and no other 
primitive would be allowed.
