Yes and it work very very well!
you just need to play with density (the last parameter),
you begin with 10 and look the number of triangle obtained,
if this is not enough (2000-3000 triangles is good but it depends
of course of the object and the accuracy for the udo you want),
you increase the number etc...
Sometime if density is too small for this object, no triangle
are found! For some small (in pov unit) object you need a density
equal to 100 (but increase slowly because the number of trianlge grow
fast :))
