    		Quadric general equation is F(x) = A*x^2 + B*x + C = 0
    		Normal to Quadric is its gradient = DELTA(F(x)) / |DELTA(F(x))|
    		
    		Below are unit quadrics centered at origin
    		with main axes in x and y dimensions
    			x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 1 = 0     is Ellipsoid
    			x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 0, Z=[0,K]  is Cylinder
    			x^2 + y^2 - z^2 = 0         is Cone
    			x^2 + y^2 - z^2 - 1 = 0     is Hyperboloid
    			x^2 + y^2 - z^2 + 1 = 0     is Hyperboloid(mirror to above one)
    			x^2 + y^2 - z = 0           is Paraboloid
    		
    		Swapping dimensions will give variations of these basic shapes.
    		Replacing x,y,z with (x-xc),(y-yc),(z-zc) respectively, will translate
    		the object in world. All such equations can be represented using a 
    		single equation given below. 
    		
    		SUM(ai2,i goes from 0 to 2) * xi^2 + SUM(ai1, i goes from 0 to 1) * xi + a00 = 0
    		where xi = x0 | x1 | x2 each representing the dimensions of 3D space.
    		
    		Please see below for an example of how values of a02,a12,a22, a01, a11, a21, a00 
    		dictates the shape of the quadrics given above.
