The last time I tried doing large walls with height-fields, it was very
slow and sometimes I couldn't render because of not enough memory. But
then it was on a smaller computer than I have now. Also the bricks didn't
look as nice...
Currently I tried making simple bricks with triangles using the same
method for placing the bricks with very interesting results:
The triangles rendered slower than the isosurface bricks - about 30%
slower! This was using 3.7 beta 36. I haven't tested on version 3.62
