High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, the superquadrics or super-quadrics are a family of geometric shapes defined by formulas that resemble those of elipsoids and other quadrics, except that the squaring operations are replaced by arbitrary powers. They can be seen as the three-dimensional relatives of the Lame curves ("superellipses"). The superquadrics include many shapes that resemble cubes, octahedra, cylinders, lozenges and spindles, with rounded or sharp corners. Because of their flexibility and relative simplicity, they are popular geometric modeling tools, especially in computer graphics.
