Following is the code that implements this example.

In XAML:

<ig:XamScatterSurface3D Name="SurfaceChart"
 ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DataCollection}"
 XMemberPath="X" YMemberPath="Y" ZMemberPath="Z">
    <ig:XamScatterSurface3D.CubeMaterial>
        <DiffuseMaterial>
            <DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
                <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1" Opacity="0.8">
                    <GradientStop Color="#FFF2F2F2" Offset="1"/>
                    <GradientStop Color="#FFA4BA29" Offset="0"/>
