I thought the isosurface would be easier for everyone, but *especially*
for those who aren't "math inclined". (I certainly wouldn't describe
myself as being very good at math...) An equation has to be less
intimidating than a huge vector of numbers with no obvious relation
between them. It is certainly easier to type. :-)
I never have fully understood the poly object family. I know the basic
idea behind them, but have never used them and can't "see" them like I
can an isosurface.
Anyway, other advantages of isosurfaces are speed and flexibility(you
can do things that are impossible with polys, like noise and trig
functions).
