chicken egg

[2ms1]

I'm curious to hear what ideas people have for the best way of making a simple but very realisticchicken egg in Pro/E. I'm not talking an ellipsoid, of course -- I'm talking the real thing with a squatter bottom and bit pointier top

Well, I settled on a general idea on how to make an egg thatI saw on one of those pages. it was just to make two different half-ellipsoids of different ratios of major-minor axes, and stick them together. Looks good to me

Let me know if you'd like any more detail.
