@Laurent : I saw your implementation looks good, keep me informed on your mesh offsets :) 

@Nik : Its a fun little thing to play around with:) however I am not smoothing cubes, the net is a direct output.
I dont know how familiar you are with marching cubes? Because that is the backbone of what this is doing. Per voxel it generates a series of points which is averaged to create the smoothed/final point position. Meaning it outputs the final geometry in one go. With the corect Surface Nets Algorithm(http://www.spl.harvard.edu/archive/spl-pre2007/pages/nobrain/CD-6-9...) you generate a cubic approximation of the field and then smooths it along the gradient. This method skips that. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for inspiration and the link, using it I implemented it in order to generate isosurface and also to have some other ways of offseting meshes. Next step :  I will look to use tetrahedrons from Netgen to offset a mesh.

Thank you, it still needs some work, but its a step in the right direction:)

Very nice work Jens :)
