If the mesh describes a convex shape, you can do it with an intersection
of planes.

If the mesh describes a concave shape, divide it into convex shapes,
define the convexes as intersections of planes, and merge the results
together.

In either case, the final result should be manually bound, or else they
will be infinite objects, and cause rendering to slow to a crawl.
