For an animation I'm making I need a special lens-like shape that have
certain properties. It should be kind of like a flattened sphere, or
actually more like a union between a torus and a cylinder (because it should
have a flat area), but without abrupt changes in curvature.

See the image in povray.binaries.images.

I don't think any CSG will do the trick, but maybe someone can come up with
an isosurface function that'll work? Or something different.

Thanks in advance!
