Triangulate 2D:
- Adds topology to the input points (Delaunay Triangulation).
- Linearly interpolates, bounded by the input's convex hull.

Point Cloud Surface:
- Creates new points and topology.
- Solves on the bounding cube.
- Uses smoother interpolation, with closed or open boundary conditions.
- Adaptive; uses more polygons in areas with higher point densities.
- Requires input points to have properly oriented normals.
