I forgot to add #declare Sphere = sphere{0,2.8}, but you guessed it correctly
anyways.

You've helped me to understand a bit mroe about how the pow function works and I
really want to thank you for that.  I have another question though...
I unfortunately have front_smoothness set to 0.5, which makes the resulting
isosurface much different, so is there anyway I might be able to account for
this besides changing front_smoothness too much?

I could probably reduce the smoothness to 0.1 but if I go any further I loose
the smooth look I want (but I'd do this only as second last resort, the last
being, redoing my isosurface).

Thank you for your help.
