Another ~1 hour quickie project. :-)

The proportions probably aren't right (they were different in the different
diagrams I've seen in textbooks), but I'm generally happy with the image.

I originally tried using media, but never could get the look I really
wanted. What you see now is CSG and an isosurface.

Comments? :-)

Tripposcopic.

Dude, you should animate that stuff...

Good.
You need to increase max_trace_level from the default value of 5. Each element add 2
trace levels. 
Try 10 or 12 or as much you need to get rid of the black areas.

*bang head* I didn't recognize the blackness underneath the other shapes.
Much better now. :-)

- Then maybe some of the code posted by Jaap Frank in this thread could 
be useful for you:

Wow, there's someone who knows a lot more than I do. :-) I'll have to play
with this sometime! Thanks.
