Isosurfaces is an excellent alternative to height_fields indeed although 
slower to render. I have not yet tried it for planets as I first wanted 
the textures to be right, but ridged multifractals at the core would be 
essential. I did a lot of experimentations with isosurface landscapes in 
the past and would need to reactivate my memory (and my documentation) a 
bit :-)
