Don't worry, you aren't the only one who doesn't understand...
"Fase" = Face?
Clocks have faces...
Maybe he wants you to make an animated clock with isosurfaces...

It has been done before, so it is useable. I think there is an explosion 
effect which uses this technique.

Nope, there are a few functions which haven't been added yet.

No. The problem is that isosurface functions are processed in a 
completely different way from the rest of the POV Script language. They 
are saved in a data structure and evaluated during the rendering process 
to search for the isosurface intersections, instead of being executed at 
parse time.

Welcome to the isosurface fan club, you should start saving money for a new
faster computer, because you will need it soon ... :-)

=)

I have already saved some money that I hope I can use for a new computer.

Since I want to select every part of it myself, I never come to buy it.
This is because when I finally have found a device I like, then some of the
others I have found earlier is not still "the best value for money".  :(

I see.

Thank you for explaining.
