It would be great if you could dig this up as an example! (I haven't looked at ScalarMappable yet, so it might indeed be relatively straightforward). I was also thinking about a sort-of pcolor3d or voxel generation although I'm not sure how to best implement it. But maybe allowing the surface plots to be colored is enough.
