I'm not sure if this would speed things up (maybe someone has already done
this?) but here's my idea:

I think it should be possible to write a macro that would take an isosurface
function and make a low poly mesh from that. You should also then be able to
alter the quality higher or lower according to your need. The purpose of this
would be two-fold: Quick preview of isosurfaces and making it possible to export
iso-surfaces to other 3d formats as a mesh.

Has any-one done anything like this before?

Comments?
