triangulate mesh

[aanuit]

I want to triangulate a mesh. In 3ds if that's possible, but any other way is also fine. I will try to explain what I want.

 

This is what I want;

A few examples of the desired result;

I know every 3d object is made out of triangles, but if you look at the pictures, you know it's something else I want.

have you tried the tesselate modifier? (also available in edit poly)

 

you could manually create the triangles too.

Tesselate and Subdivide will get you there if you already have a mesh to work with.

 

Otherwise, are you talking about triangulating a mesh out of data points or contour lines?
