Useing the bowl posted by Samuel Benge, and running it through my blob
generator.
I get this:

I second that opinion. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to heat up some
soup to put in it.

Stephen, your blob technique looks less voxelized (more random) than Sam's
isosurface; very natural. Just curious, what was the render time as compared to
the isosurface?

I randomize the blob component radius 6.5 to 7.5 step sizes,
with a strength .2 blob, .008 component.
Each component is also randomly placed up to +- half a step size.

Comments welcome:

See new post with new picture.
It started as a way to look like blobbed CSG.
Randomness and overlap (blobbiness?) was a design goal.

Robert,
I think in Sam's iso example you are not seeing voxelization, but rather 
his technique representing the original mesh too well. His proximity 
pattern technique uses the object pattern at the base which tests 
whether inside or outside the mesh. This inside/outside test happens 
less mesh normals. If I pull the normals from the mesh and render it. 
Then replace Sam's smoothed mesh image on the left in the comparison 
image, we get something which looks pretty much like the isosurface 
image on the right. See attached.

I hope to find time soon to play with these other two methods. I find 
all three object->"strength" techniques interesting with different 
benefits and weaknesses.
Bill P.

Ah, I see - thanks for that clarification Bill :)
