Perhaps the most important thing about isosurfaces is their versatility. You
can make practical objects that are hard to make any other way - e.g. the
expanded mesh on Defective's truck, or you can have a wonderful abstract thing
like Tor Olav's ToroidalIsoNoise (I have had this as wallpaper for nearly two
weeks now - it's still visually interesting).
For anyone with an interest in maths applied to geometry, isosurfaces are a
great tool. For the more artistically inclined, the ability to deform a simple
geometric shape with noise and functions derived from pigments gives them a
great new resource.
Where is it all leading? I don't know, but I don't want to miss the bus!
