Defines the texture at the interface as the height-profile formed by a cut of the planar xy-cross-section with an ellipsoid. This surface geometry forms one side of an ellipsoidal lens.

The cross-section surface is determined by the location of the Center and the RadiusX and RadiusY determining the ellipsoidal base in the cut plane. RadiusZ is the radius orthogonal to the cut plane. The z-coordinate of the Center determines whether the EllipsoidCut is concave or convex.
