I was able to puzzle things out and experiment a bit with parameters.
It works, but is still a bit rough.   Only takes 28 seconds though.   :)

Somewhat similar approaches - I'm using an average of the function evaluated at
a variable number of delta-h's (function constructed with a #for loop) along
each of the 3 axes.   You sample around a sphere, and do some complex binary
searching stuff...

I tried using f_r, but I got a lot of weird results.

When my function values cross 0, I get rounding of the corners in the +x and +z
directions, and the same thing happens to a lesser extent when I use too many
samples and flatten the gradient too much.

Shown is a test object, good function results, graph of good function, and the
bad results just mentioned.
