This is the wrong group for this kind of thing, povray.binaries.images 
is intended for posts of images. The povray.unofficial.patches group 
would be a better place, I'm setting the Followup-To header to that 
group.

If you want real objects, an isosurface might do what you want, but you 
might get better results with separate blocks automatically positioned 
with a #while loop. Or you might be able to do it with a block texture 
using one of the warps in MegaPOV. I can't give any more specific 
answers without more information.

MacMegaPOV is available here: http://users.skynet.be/smellenbergh/
Look through the feature list and see if there is anything you think 
would be useful. Don't forget the demos page, especially the one with 
spherical, cylinderical, and toroidal warps:
