I will work on creating a small sample dataset, but the shape is 
essentially a "kidney bean" in 3D space. In fact, the actual "point cloud" 
is (right now) actually samples from a 3D probability density function, 
i.e. it's a "blob", and I want the 3D bounding surface of that blob. I 
imagine this makes things more difficult (at least computationally), and so 
I'm thinking of ways to go from "blob" to the "convex hull" of this point 
cloud -- even though convex hull isn't exactly what I want, since there is 
some concavity.
