K3DSurf

K3DSurf is a program to visualize and manipulate multidimensional surfaces by using mathematical equations. It is also a modeler for POV-Ray in the area of parametric surfaces.

K3DSurf use parametric descriptions of it's physical models. The parametric method of representing surfaces/curves uses a function to map some portion of R2 (the domain) to a patch of the surface in R3.

Features include:

• 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D HyperObjects visualization
• Full support of all functions (like C language)
• 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
• Create screenshots by copying the draw window or by using Povray, a popular raytracer
• Create movie scenes
• Generate Mesh files that describe the shape of the mathematical model.
• Supported formats are:
• Povscript
• 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 etc)
• More than 100 well known examples
