You know, an object-to-mesh2 ability in the next version of Povray would be
nice. BTW, what's the walking triangle algorithm? I can't find a good
description of it.

Would you rather use an empty glass-bottle of beer or a old shoe to nail
a nail in a set of planks ?
what is the exact interest of transforming to mesh ?

I don't know anything about it, but I think it's called 'marching triangle'
algorithm. A search on Google pulled up a bunch of sites.

Rendering speed, free transformations (at vertex level, at least),
conversion to other formats.
