Description

@sh1boot

Maybe add this:

@sdf3
def sphube(radius=1, n=4, center=ORIGIN):
    def psum(*args, n=1):
        return pow(sum(map(lambda x: pow(x, n), args)), 1.0 / n)
    def f(p):
        p = abs(p - center) / radius
        px, py, pz = p[:,0], p[:,1], p[:,2]
        return psum(px, py, pz, n=n) - 1.0
    return f

n=1: an octahedron
n=2: a sphere
n=4: a 3D squircle, or "sphube"
n=+inf: a cube

But n doesn't have to be an integer, and transitions smoothly from 0 to +inf.

It's like a rounded box, but it doesn't have any flat segments.
