The pattern shown in that photo is very similar to what you get using 
the crackle pattern.
The example by ectire needlessly use radiosity.
Personaly, I'd just use a regular crackle and add "scalop_wave" to get 
the rounded effect. At least, as a first test. This would make an 
isosurface requiring a much lower max_gradient value and would probably 
render much faster.
