Ah, well, if you tried that, maybe this is a nonstarter. I'll bet you are right about that. Hmm. Yes, interpolation.... actual values.... I'll play with this some. In any case, we certainly don't need many of those first 39,562 or last 39,966 data points, and it's hard to believe that 13 bytes per value is really necessary, either. Miguel will set me straight.... One thing that would save this idea is if only the surface points are used, not the surrounding ones. For that I have another idea.

Hi Bob,

That sounds indeed interesting and promising.

I do seem to recall (it has been a while since I played with the cube files and my memory isn't very good :-) ), that when I tried to reduce a cube file to 0s and 1s and set the cutoff at 0.5 (to try to keep the file size down), the generated surfaces were very angled looking. So I think (and didn't check) that in the code some kind of interpolation is done, i.e., the actual values are used to generate a smoother representation of the data. It looks like you are capturing the result of this 'pre-processing'.
