Hi,
I don't know the marching cube method but if potential blocks are 
Minkowski sums of polyhedra and spheres - as I think they are, then it 
should be enough to combine existing functors since that's exactly how 
PFacet polyhedra are displayed. And it should be efficient.
Let me know.
See the figures in [1], they are from yade GUI for most of them.
