* PolyVox does not enforce any requirements regarding what data must be present in a voxel, and instead allows any primitive or user-defined
* type to be used. However, the Marching Cubes algorithm does have some requirents about the underlying data in that conceptually it operates
* on a <i>density field</i>. In addition, the PolyVox implementation of the Marching Cubes algorithm also understands the idea of each voxel
* having a material which is copied into the vertex data.

* Because we want the MarchingCubesSurfaceExtractor to work on <i>any</i> voxel type, we use a <i>Marching Cubes controller</i> (passed as
* a parameter of the MarchingCubesSurfaceExtractor) to expose the required properties. This parameter defaults to the DefaultMarchingCubesController.

* If you create a custom class for your voxel data then you probably want to include a specialisation of DefaultMarchingCubesController,
* though you don't have to if you don't want to use the Marching Cubes algorithm or if you prefer to define a seperate Marching Cubes controller
* and pass it as an explicit parameter (rather than relying on the default).

* For primitive types, the DefaultMarchingCubesController considers the value of the voxel to represent it's density and just returns a constant
