I don't quite understand what you mean. The pattern will support 
whatever shapes I add to it, which will be a lot more than the 
isosurface primitive supports. It could even include a function 
primitive. But the main point of doing it this way is that it will be 
much faster then user defined functions...of course they will always be 
more flexible.

I've got spherical components working, BTW. However, I'm finding some 
very ugly stuff in the function and pattern code...don't look for it too 
soon.
