Looks smooth to me?

I mean the same not happening with voronoi cell.

The process of Mesh to surface with U and V value of 1 isn,t working.

It's primarily a data structure issue...if you want to create a similar result to the cube you have at the top for each voronoi cell, you should first simplify your data structure after you've done your Mesh UV, and then Shift Paths by -1 (the structure going in is {A;B}, with "A" reflecting each voronoi cell, and "B" reflecting the individual UV meshes comprising each extruded edge...shifting your paths -1 results in just the {A}...then with WB's Join Mesh and Weld (with weld set to true) you get a simple, joined mesh for each individual voronoi cell. Unify the normals and feed it into your subdivision and you're good to go.

I don't know if you've seen this discussion yet: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/skeletal-mesh but there is a great deal of really interesting stuff going on in there which you might be interested in checking out also...it all works with 3D voronoi cells as well.
