Dear ABX, you should fight alone and not affraid this "awful" matrixes. You
probably not expected it was so simple:

#macro Transform_To_Array(Trans)
  #local A=vtransform(x,Trans);
  #local B=vtransform(y,Trans);
  #local C=vtransform(z,Trans);
  #local D=vtransform(0*x,Trans);
  array[4]{A,B,C,D}
#end

:-)

#declare _=function(a,b,x){((a^2)+(b^2))^.5-x}#default {pigment{color rgb 1}}
union{plane{y,-3}plane{-x,-3}finish{reflection 1 ambient 0}}isosurface{ //ABX
function{_(x-2,y,1)|_((x+y)*.7,z,.1)|_((x+y+2)*.7,z,.1)|_(x/2+y*.8+1.5,z,.1)}
