Yes, this is something I think would be very useful indeed.
I think a lot of us dabbling with fillets and meshifying primitives and Bezier
patches and isosurfaces have at some point eyed that as a goal - to "somehow"
skin-over an object or union of objects.

It would be especially useful, I think, because I'm guessing that a pattern or
texture might be able to be "wrapped" in x/y/z so as to cover all of the "faces"
of the result.

This can be a real pain with CSG and standard procedural textures.


This is a very interesting project, and I hope you keep at it and make some more
excellent progress!   :)
