Yes, and that's the key. I want to make meshes using a kind of image_map
function. That "pixelation" is the essence of a mesh. That isosurface is
taking 2D vectors and creating a z value from its greyscale to give you the
full x,y,z definition of a mesh vector or point. I'm talking about patching
pov so that it outputs that mesh... not a picture, it outputs a mesh file.
