I'm trying to create a 3D heat map model out of data that I have from a csv file. I have a few thousand data points with XYZ coordinates.

I'm able to import the data into blender as a point cloud with this python scriptthis python script, however I would like to create a model with solid faces. Is there a way when importing the data to somehow join the points to create faces instead of generating thousands of separate points?

Currently, this what I have in terms of point cloudenter image description here

The end product would look something like this (minus the texture) and obviously the model wouldn't be as regular as this oneenter image description here

Any help is greatly appreciated!
