You can do surface plots with axe3d, but mpl isn't really suited for 3d plotting since 3d plotting is nascent and not supported. We include it in hopes that someone else will ike it and improve it but that hasn't happened yet.
Personally, unless you are doing interactive stuff like rotating your figure, surface plots don't help much, and mpl 3d is really too slow for interactive 3d. I use imshow or pcolor with colormapping, which will give you just about all the information you can get out of a non-interactive 3d plot.
