I know this but unfortunatly in current (unoficial) state of pov this is
only way to play with described week ago nonlinear transformations.
Everything is ok but normals.
hmmm
perhaps the problem can be resolved just like in smooth_triangle ?
in 2D description:
1. take point at equipotential surface
P
2. take value at corners of cube around of it (size of cube depends of
accuracy)
V1---V2
|\ /|
| P |
|/ \|
V3---V4
3. find points on edges where value is like in P
4. aproximate normal
