Sort of: the proximity pattern used the average or minimum distance to 
the surface. Theoretically, this could be used in an isosurface to do 
this "inflate" effect, but the original pattern was almost unuseably 
slow in textures (on computers of that time), as an isosurface function 
it would be extremely slow. I'm working on an updated version that has 
optimized object-specific proximity methods in addition to the 
ray-sampling method.
