Yes, the problem comes in making the mesh.  I cannot seem to come up with a
proper way of taking a set of xyz coordinates and interpolating them into
some sort of mesh surface data.  Any simple way of doing this?  I have seen
information regarding 'natural neighbor interpolation', 'Delauney
Triangulation', etc. but have yet to find an example of using these methods
to convert a set of points.  A bit of code would be helpful to the
uninitiated, such as myself.

So, this is the opposite approach.  If I can generate a pigment map with the
right blends, I can use the resultant image as a heightfield, and thus
convert xyz data points into an interpolated surface (which is really my end
goal).
