TIN stands for Triangulated Irregular Network; 3D description of a surface using triangular polygons. There is good description here:

To make it, just put diagonal line on quad surface. Than the apex away from this diagonal line can be moved out of plane.

Looks these posts of F Bartels some videos about tins and crazy images about use of them!

If youve got the subd and smooth plugin, you can get a similar effect (a model that is very triangulated) simply using the subdivide feature a few times.
