Robert,
I think in Sam's iso example you are not seeing voxelization, but rather 
his technique representing the original mesh too well. His proximity 
pattern technique uses the object pattern at the base which tests 
whether inside or outside the mesh. This inside/outside test happens 
less mesh normals. If I pull the normals from the mesh and render it. 
Then replace Sam's smoothed mesh image on the left in the comparison 
image, we get something which looks pretty much like the isosurface 
image on the right. See attached.

I hope to find time soon to play with these other two methods. I find 
all three object->"strength" techniques interesting with different 
benefits and weaknesses.
Bill P.
