The Ellipsoid node
When to use it
A sphere stretched or squashed independently on each axis. Eggs, pebbles, elongated blobs.
A non-uniformly scaled sphere is only an approximate distance field, so a strongly stretched ellipsoid blends slightly unevenly under Smooth Union. A Sphere inside a scaled domain has the same problem, so at least here it is visible on the node.
