I think the algorithm can be generalized to 3d (but it might be beyond my
ability to do so), however there would be a problem with the mortar joints
parallel to the surface of the object occasionally being at the surface of
the object, resulting in an oddly textured block.  It might not be that big
of deal, but it would probably be annoying to anyone who just wants their
stone wall to look good from one side.
