How can I create 3D-meshes (based on triangles or whatever will do
then job) out of raw ASCII-Data where each point is defined in a
spherical (or cartesian coordiante) system?

I want to display experimental data of my PhD-thesis that looks like
the surface of a cloud.

Thanks!

You will have to say some more things about what you mean by 'raw
ASCII-Data'.

Does it contain triangle coordinates, particle positions, density values,
...
