I forgot to mention that you may get strange artifacts if the vector 
right after the min/max vectors is too high. This is especially true for 
curved surfaces. You will have to fiddle with it to achieve a desirable 
result. The value right after than should be set to 2 or more. Higher 
values give more falloff, and tend to reduce artifacts.

The patterns are 3d, so they can be used for media and isosurface 
functions, although these will take a long time to render.

Also, I did not make a fastSSS3 macro to behave like fastProx3. You can 
probably make one yourself by looking at the code.

That is all :)

edit:
One last thing. You can transform the object after applying a pattern to 
it, but don't expect this to work very well with the SSS pattern.

For SSS you should apply your transforms *first*, and then apply the 
pattern to the object and adjust the bounding box accordingly.

The proximity patterned object can be transformed anytime, as it does 
not take a light position into account.
