Just trying a new object: ovus.
It's just a pair of spheres with the right glue...

Are you writing a macro for this? I have used two spheres, one round
and one elongated, chopped in half and fused together to make perfect eggs
before. Sounds like a useful and simple tool.

...Nice...
This page gives a generalized "egg" formula:
http://www.2dcurves.com/quartic/quartice.html
form.
A little toying with mathematica gives the
attached picture of an egg, with a=1/4 and b=7/5.
(I also wrote a Mathematica fonction that takes in
mathematica Graphics and converts it to mesh)
Best,

That's a nice algorithm, but you can do it very simply with this program
(attached).

From what I could see at the web page
you provided a link to above, it seems
that these eggs are glued together with
the same type of CSG-glue as I used to
assemle/connect the spheres and tori in
these two images:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/13595/
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/12039/
Tor Olav
P.S.: I want my eggs done like this:

No, I foolishly write a patch... copying some code of the sphere and torus.

Me too. In fact I use this:
#macro ovoid (Center, EquatorRadius, MinRadius, MaxRadius, Directrix)
union{
difference{
sphere{ 0,1 scale (MinRadius/EquatorRadius) }
plane{ -y, 0 }
}
difference{
sphere{ 0,1 scale (MaxRadius/EquatorRadius) }
plane{ y, 0 }
}
rotate_to(Directrix-Center)
scale EquatorRadius
translate Center
}
#end
Where rotate_to() is something like Reorient_Trans(); it rotates from +y
to the specified vector.

Do you plan uv-mapping support?

No.
I do not like UV-mapping and I do not want to perform more math
to get a metric along the 2D curve. (a first though makes me believe
I would have to resolve an integral of 3 parts, with the middle part depending
on the parameters... a projection mapping might be worth consideration nevertheless,
so you could have UV mapping if you really want afterall...)
Moreover, my version of pov does not have UV installed anyway!
