Hi,

a quick and dirty solution may be

f[x_, y_] := -64*x + 320*(x^2) - 512*(x^3) + 
256*(x^4) + 20*y - 64*x*y +
64*(x^2)*y - 4*(y^2)

gg = Graphics3D[
Plot3D[f[x, y], {x, -4, 5}, {y, 1, -100}, 
PlotPoints -> 256,
Mesh -> False, DisplayFunction -> Identity]] /.
Polygon[pnts_] /; Length[pnts] > 3 :>
Polygon /@ Partition[pnts, 3, 2, {1, 1}];

simpleTest[Polygon[pnts_]] := Module[{cntr},
cntr = Plus @@ pnts/Length[pnts];
upper[cntr] > 0 && lower[cntr] > 0
]

poly = Select[Cases[gg, _Polygon, Infinity], 
simpleTest];

Show[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[], poly}, PlotRange -> 
All, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1}]]

This draw only polygons with the center is inside 
of the domain. A longer version would select all 
polygons that intersect the boundary and compute 
the intersection polygon that lies inside of the 
boundary. This gives you a cleaner boundary curve.

Regards
