TIN stands for Triangulated Irregular Network; 3D description of a surface using triangular polygons. There is good description here:
TRIANGULATED IRREGULAR NETWORK
Basic description of TIN models. Comparison with raster surfaces. Interpolating TINs from contours.

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.
