This seems to work. With resolution = 50 and depth =0, the result was similar in
smoothness to resolution = 8 and depth =1 and the time taken was about the same.
And no sign of gaps so far.
Incidently, I see that the object is mesh and not mesh2. I thought I had seen
something about an improvement to this meshing programme that produced a mesh2
and was faster?
Thanks for the help.

Good :)

Warp once made a program that can compress triangle meshes, but I don't remember
exactly what it can do. The latest version I can find mentioned is v3.0. It is
mentioned here:
http://www.povcomp.com/entries/46.php
I've tried to search for it, but with no luck so far. Perhaps someone else in
here knows where to find it. If not, you can just ask Warp.

No problem.

It would be interesting to see that head rendered as a mesh without holes at
that resolution or higher. (I'm curious about how much "noise" there is around
the eyes and below the nose.)

I have posted an image at:

along with the source code. The noise around the eyes looks a bit like wrinkles!
