How to draw heart shape (3D) using Maple

Question

I'm drawing a heart shape (3D) using Maple, but I think it is not correct. Please hint to me how to draw it correctly.

with(plots);

implicitplot3d((2*x^2+y^2+z^2-1)^3-(1/10)*x^2*z^2-y^2*z^3, x = -1.2 .. 1.2, y = -1.2 .. 1.2, z = -1.2 .. 1.3, numpoints = 80000);

enter image description here

Shouldn't questions about 3D heart shapes belong in medical-imaging or something? — hmakholm left over Monica, Mar 30 '13 at 16:51
What's not correct about it? Do you not like the actual heart or the way that Maple plots it? Do you think something is wrong with Maple's plot? — George V. Williams, Mar 30 '13 at 16:54
I suppose "correctness" is a matter of taste. Does it look like a heart shape to you? — TMM, Mar 30 '13 at 17:06

implicitplot3d((2*x^2+y^2+z^2-1)^3-(1/10)*x^2*z^2-y^2*z^3, x = -1.2 .. 1.2,
                 y = -1.2 .. 1.2, z = -1.2 .. 1.3, numpoints = 80000);

it is true. no problem in plot.
