Usually, with biological data, you only have a scalar field...

see http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling/polygonise/

(Two differents tables are used... which gives also a different 
picture... and there is no absolut best solution anyway...)


brute force (but you'd better start with a 2D first, then extend the 
lines into planes). Once you get any single polygon, turning it into a 
set of triangles is rather painless.
