Just so I fully understand what I'm looking at:
So, is what I'm looking at a 1/4 torus with a normal pattern applied?
If so, then you'd need to generate a new instance of the normal to match another

What's the difference in render speed between the isosurface and the normal
pattern?

enough....
I probably still need more eye-training to pick up on certain things.
