Thank you Bill !

I had forgotten about the supershapes, so I searched for them
- and ended up at one of Paul Bourke's web pages again:
http://paulbourke.net/geometry/supershape/

I see now that there's two files there that I've made; ss_macro1.inc &
example1.pov
- So apparently I have been experimenting with them once...

It seems that they are commonly made with parametric meshes. Perhaps it is
possible to model some of them as isosurfaces. But that would be very slow, so I
think I'll wait some years (for more computing power) before looking into that.

=)

For a long while I have not had much time to work with POV-Ray, so I hope that I
will have more time for it soon.
