Yes Mike's page is a treasure trove of hints and examples.
Thomas used Mike's Cityscape in our image "Dhalgren".
I have not used the isosurface approximation macro but I notice that 
there are two files adapted by Jaap Frank. I have a couple of macros 
written by Jaap and they work very well.

But you might want to render it many times as you adjust things like 
your texture or camera view. Just a thought.
Looking at your image in p.b.i. it is quite regular. I would try the 
approximation macro.
