The gradient of the scalar field at each point of the grid is also a normal vector to the assumed isosurface passing through this point. Therefore, it is possible to interpolate these normals along the edges of each cube in order to find the normals of the generated vertices, for the correct display of the model when using lighting.
This algorithm is widely used in medicine, for example, in computer and magnetic resonance imaging , as well as for three-dimensional modeling of metaspheres or other metasurfaces.
Patent
The Marching Cubes algorithm was the first example in the field of computer graphics that provoked a scandal in the field of software patenting . It was patented despite the relative obviousness of solving the problem of surface generation. Later, a similar algorithm was developed, called marching tetrahedrons , which, in order to bypass the patent, uses tetrahedrons instead of cubes. The patent expired in 2005, now the algorithm can be freely used. (Patent of June 5, 1985 [2] ).

Strychnine.213 (Rus. Strychnin 213.) is the sixth full-length studio album of the Belgian death / grind band Aborted , released in 2008 . At Strychnine.213, the group continued experimenting with melodicity, but there was also a greater departure for the deathcore , which almost immediately became noticeable, although the group still originally combined elements of the selected styles. The main part of the music, as on the previous release, was written by Sebastian Tuvi , and the texts, as always the frontman Svencho , wrote.
