[vtkusers] refinement of iso surface

[Bill Lorensen]

VTK does not have an adaptive isosurface algorithm. You can increase the
dimensions of your sampling and then apply one of several decimation
algorithms to reduce the polygons. The decimation algorithms will keep more
polygons in areas with more detail.

see for example:

and
