Beautiful effect, makes me think, a little, of soapstone carving.  The 
method gives an interesting insight also. Applying the shearing macro to 
an iso-surface is something I would not have expected.  Being a mere 
mortal with maths, I would have guessed, rather, that you'd done the 
shearing with the iso-surface function somehow.
