Also, in the above referenced book, they discuss how most commercial /
production raytracers convert everything to triangles before rendering.

I think it would be a useful feature to have, and it's certainly a
long-requested one.

It would enable folks to save files as meshes, and allow 3D printing of scenes.

Obviously, this would be difficult or impossible for things like fractals,
media, etc.

I also found this:

in case anyone wanted to try a marching cubes utility!  :)
