I am +AD4- particularly interested in the representation of mathematical surfaces +AD4- and solids. I am also interested in the animation of graphical +AD4- representation of mathematical objects which change over time (or what +AD4- ever parameter you chose as time). A long time ago I got my hands on a +AD4- tool called polyray. I believe it had povray at its core. +AD4- +AD4- As I was writing this, I did a search on polyray and found it to be +AD4- available online. Believe it or not, I found it in Germany of all +AD4- places. I will take a look at this after work. I am still interested +AD4- in others' input. This is a log standing interest of mine. I have been +AD4- trying to do such things with mathematica, but it seems overly obtuse. +AD4- +AD4- TIA +AD4- +AD4- Steve Provray IIRC is a ray trace program. There is Blender (http://www.freshmeat.com) which does 3D graphics and animation, it isn't GPL, but it is a free (as in beer).
