3d dimensional surface

I'm trying to plot a 3d dimensional surface. The function given is The code below is the one I'm using.
v = [-2:0.1:2];
w = [-2:0.1:2];
[X,Y] = meshgrid(v,w);
Z = 6*X^2-4*X^2*Y^2;
figure(3);
surf(X,Y,Z)
And this is the output in MATLAB:
Now when I do this in Wolfram alpha i'm getting a much smoother surface. So I'm wondering what I am doing wrong: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=3d+plot+6x%5E2-4x%5E2y%5E2

I'll try this tommorow. What does the point mean?

The point means element by element operation between arrays and matrices.
It is much smoother now but It's still not the same as the 3D plot on Wolfram Alpha.

Not the same in which way? 3D plot on Wolfram Alpha has different limits for X and Y than those of yours given by v and w.
