Here is your example for a fusion. When you use the object load
then you have to create an external file for the data.

\listfiles
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pst-solides3d}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-2)(3,3)

\psset{lightsrc=50 20 50, viewpoint=15 60 20 rtp2xyz,Decran=50}
% first surface
\defFunction[algebraic]{Func}(x,y){}{}{ (x^2-3*y^2)/2 }{}{}
\psSolid[
  object=surface,
  incolor=green,
  function=Func,
  base=-1 1 -1 1,
  ngrid=0.1 0.1,
  grid,
  action=none,
  name=graphsurfA]
% second surface, also with action=none
\defFunction[algebraic]{Func2}(x,y){}{}{ (y^2-3*x^2)/2 }{}{}
\psSolid[
  object=surface,
  incolor=yellow,
  function=Func2,
  base=-1 1 -1 1,
  ngrid=0.1 0.1,
  grid,
  action=none,
  name=graphsurfB]
% combine both surfaces
\psSolid[
  object=fusion,
  action=draw**,
  base=graphsurfA graphsurfB]
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
