The granularity would be a problem...but I am thinking of a way to add 
per-object proximity functions, so some objects could have their own, 
much computationally cheaper way of calculating proximity. The proximity 
pattern might become useful in isosurfaces then...
My blob pattern isn't limited to blob components, it can also use boxes, 
pigments, and other components are planned(torus, superellipsoid, etc.). 
I have had good results with using it in isosurfaces.
