See the corresponding post in povray.general. These are the result of a
macro I wrote... they can come in handy especially for things like plastic
toys, or things where you don't want sharp corners.

The first image is a regular prism, the second has a little bit of roundness
to it to remove the sharp corners, and the third has a lot of roundedness to
it. Note how the second and third ones would fit snugly into the first one;
the roundedness only cuts away from the original prism.
