Dear /3/

I once dreamt about solid, but I cannot imagine it. I know the process how it is made, and I know very little about modelling, so I came here for your help. So I worked with Zbrush earlier, and I know it uses a tool called "Shadowbox", you guise must know what I am talking about. So, the thing is, this solid that I am trying to visualize is quite interesting, because it shadows circles on the "floor" and the two "walls" of the shadowbox. 3 same sized circles, all 3 touching the axises.
>inb4 its a sphere.
A sphere does the same thing, I give you that, but this solid shadows circles ONLY from these 3 directions, whereas spheres appear to be circles from any direction.
It's like a 2 minute work, not more, could someone help me to create this? I do not know if it has a name in mathematics, and I could model it, but my pc broke, and I'm writing from a library.
So please, if someone creates it, could you take pictures of it from the 3 directions, and from other, random angles, so I can imagine how it looks like? And if it is possible, could you make a .gif of it rotating around so one can imagine how it would look like in real life?
That would be great! Thank you, sir/ma'am!
(Yes, I did the pic with Paint XP, sorry but, that's all I have got, just a miniture touchpad on a netbook, no mouse)

This is just so cool. Thank you sir. You just solved a 2-month-long mystery. Is this your hobby, or you do it professionally?

no, just a hobby.

this shape isn't unique you know. A cube with bulging faces is just the most obvious solution, since the faces line up with the three projections you need.

i dont come here often but i think i know what you want. take three disks, same size and intersect them at the middle, with each circle 90 degrees from the other
