Creating "Squashed Hemispheres"

Hello,

I am looking to create a façade similar to the image shown. They are not completely flat disks, they are more of a dish shape.

What I am struggling to figure out it a way to go about it. My two thoughts were.

  1. Is there a way to make a “squashed hemisphere”, but I can only see a node for making full spheres.
  2. Can I construct a surface from a circle (for the base) and a offset point which will drive the depth of each “dish”.

Any tips on plugins of construction methods would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I’ve just realised the term for what I need may be “paraboloid”.

It is also possible to make another type of hemisphere, but could be paraboloid
