We built a three-dimensional model of Slothy Joe, a plush sloth, using ellipsoids, spheres, and cylindrical surfaces in Desmos. This paper describes him, lists the equations and restrictions used for each part of his body, explains how the parameters control the shape of each surface, and reflects on where the model matches the real Slothy Joe and where it does not.
