Sharp Cuboctahedron

This is a Cuboctahedron, but its edges are sharp.

It was made with pythonscad's new feature to render a sphere with a angle-dependent radius which is already available available in github.

The simple used code is at the bottom.
You can easily change the sharpness by changing the exponent of the pow or basically creating other stuff instead.

for dir in dirs:
res = max(res, abs(dot(v, dir)))
return res

dirs.append([0.0,0.0,1.0])
dirs.append([1.0,0.0,0.0])

def rfunc(v):
cf = mydotmax(v, dirs)
return 10/pow(cf,1.5)
