To blob them together you could try this:
Sum up for all your functions f : 1/f(x,y,z)
To bound the values and gradients you might have to use min
(sum,someconstant). Also you will have to negate the sign-value and adjust
the threshold-value.

Well, I hope that was what I've tried lately. Can't look it up now, sorry.

Have fun
