use millipede marching cubes (isosurface component as I remeber), then you can remesh it with starling tools or kangaroo (mesh parameterization or spring-based remeshing)

this is little example of remeshing. in this case, spheres are converted to unioned mesh, then remeshed. 

so first create mesh with millipede (examples provided at its group), then disjoint mesh with disjoint component, set mesh which you would like to remesh and provide it to starling.

to use it with starling it has to be genus 0 mesh.
