Concerning efficiency, both a macro tree and a (hypothetical) isosurface have
advantages, the macro tree would probably render faster as a single object
(assuming both are equally complicated), but when placing a lot of trees in one
scene, the isosurface has strong advantages because of fewer memory use.
