Generalisations of common surfaces#
Parametric Surfaces: \(x=f(u,v),\) \(y=g(u,v),\) \(z=h(u,v)\)
Ellipsoid#
The parametric equations of an ellipsoid can be written as
for \(u \in [0, 2 \pi)\) and \(v \in [0, \pi]\).

var a = 1.0;
var b = 2.0;
var c = 3.0;
var x = a * Math.Cos(u) * Math.Cos(v);
var y = b * Math.Cos(u) * Math.Sin(v);
var z = c * Math.Sin(u);
If the lengths of two axes of an ellipsoid are the same, the figure is called an ellipsoid of revolution or spheroid. Denote the equal semi-axes lengths of a spheroid \(a=b\), call \(a\) the equatorial radius, and call the other semi-axis length the polar radius \(c\). Then if \(a>c\), the spheroid is called an oblate spheroid, and if \(a<c\), the spheroid is called an prolate spheroid. If all three semi-axes lengths are the same so \(a=b=c\), the ellipsoid is a sphere.

Superellipsoid#
Superellipsoid is the name given to a family of shapes formed from the spherical product of two superquadratric curves. These shapes can be used to model a wide range of shapes including spheres, cylinders, and parallelepipeds as well as shapes in between. The parametric equations of an superellipsoid can be written as
where \(\displaystyle \frac{-\pi}{2} \le u \le \frac{\pi}{2}\), \(-\pi \le v \le \pi\), and \(0 < p1, p2 < \infty\).

double p2 = 3.8;

double v = v;
\cos(u) = Math.Cos(u);
\cos(v) = Math.Cos(v);
\sin(u) = Math.Sin(u);
\sin(v) = Math.Sin(v);
tmp = Math.Sign(\cos(u)) * Math.Pow(Math.Abs(\cos(u)),p1);
