<< Graphics`ContourPlot3D`

heart = (x^2 + 9/4y^2 + z^2 - 1)^3 - x^2z^3 - 9/80y^2z^3


ContourPlot3D[heart,
   {x, -2, 2},
   {y, -2, 2},
     {z, -2, 2},
  MaxRecursion -> 3, (*if you're patient, try 4 recursions *)
   Axes -> False, PlotRange -> All,
  ContourStyle -> {{EdgeForm[]}},
  ViewPoint -> {0, 1, 0},
  Boxed -> False]


Export["heart.dxf", %]


(* dxf file can be imported into any 3D program  
this formula gets unstable near the z=0 plane 
causing the surface to get rough. I would like 
to see how the Gurus of this group solve that 
problem *)
