3D Graphics, Animation, Rendering
3D computer graphics are different from 2D computer graphics in that a three-dimensional representation of geometric data is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images.
Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. This can be compared to taking a photo or filming the scene after the setup is finished in real life.

K3DSurf
K3DSurf is a program to visualize and manipulate Mathematical models in three, four, five and six dimensions. K3DSurf supports Parametric equations and Isosurfaces.
Features :
Studying mathematical surfaces with K3DSurf include doing:
Interactive visualization with mouse events (Right: Rotate, Middle: translate
and left: Scale).
Real time animation (rotation) and morph (by the introduction of t_time variable). Animation and morph
can also be monitored by controls that affect the CPU usage and t_time step.
Creat screenshots by copying the draw window or by using the best ray tracer on the net: Povray.
Creat movie scene is also supported
Generat Mesh files that describe the shape of the mathematical model.
Supported formats are:
Povscript : Povray is the best ray tracer available on the net...and it's free.
VRML2: to use with the majority of current browsers via an appropriate plug-in.
OBJ: a well-known file format supported by the majority of 3D applications (Blender, MAYA and Moray...).
