Can you provide a bit more detail? I can't, er, visualize your
"surface upon this mesh of points". Would this be similar to taking a
sphere and creating a little 3d globe by shifting the vertices up and
down (orthogonal to the surface) based on elevation? If so, there is
a demo of this floating around somewhere. Maybe someone else can help
out here? Was it in the docs? This turns out to be fairly easy to do
if your base object (your ellipsoid) has a regular mesh.
