Greetings,

I'm trying to create a ListPlot3D similiar to this plot:
http://ec2-46-51-156-184.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/plot.pdf

The data I'm using for this looks like this:

data={{64,4,886442},{64,8,1185834},{64,16,1413761},{64,32,1898121},

Result: http://ec2-46-51-156-184.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/plot2.pdf
I get a plot that doesn't show all the data, due to the exponential
distance between each datapoint. All the data below x=131072 doesn't
show at all, there is just a grey flat area there. Furthermore the z
axis doesn't show any ticks at all. So I'm wondering if there is a way
I can make the distance between each of these ticks the same length,
as they would in excel. I havent been able to find a log axis version
of ListPlot3D for example.

I also tried to change the data to look like this:

And by using
ListPlot3D[data,  AxesLabel -> {"File size (KB)", "Record size(KB)",
"Speed (KB/s)"}, ColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, Hue[z]],
Ticks -> {{64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768,
65536, 131072, 262144, 524288, 1048576}, {4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256,
512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384}, {500000, 1000000, 1500000,
2000000, 2500000, 3000000, 3500000}}]

Results: http://ec2-46-51-156-184.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/plot1.pdf
Which gives me a useable plot, however all the x and y axis ticks are
incorrect of course. Does anyone have a suggestion for solving this
problem? Note that I have to create more than 20 plots like this so
changing the data as little as possible would be best.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
