basically given something like below e.g. digitized frames along a hull.

pointcount1, x1,y1,z1, x2,y2,z1, x3,y3,z1........x10,y10,z1
pointcount2, u1,v1,z2, u2,v2,z2................u20,v20,z2
...
...
...
pointcount nn a1,b1,z15,..........a9,b9,z15


anyone know how to generate a mesh or something capable of
doing it for me ?

output preferred is pov include file or something i can play with 
further in a linux tool (sorry about that) :-)
