Description

SDF stands for signed distance functions. Currently, our sdf actor manages sphere, torus, and ellipsoid.

We would like to add the support of the superquadrics. Check fury.actor.sdf for more info.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the signed distance function for superquadrics, then implement it in the SDF actor class, following the pattern of existing shapes like sphere, torus, and ellipsoid.
