Description:
 K3DSurf is a program to visualize and  manipulate
Multidimensional surfaces by using Mathematical
equations. It's also a "Modeler" for POV-Ray in
the area of parametric and iso surfaces.  

            Features :
* 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D HyperObjects visualization.
* Full support of all functions (like C language).
* Support of mouse event in the drawing
area(Left:Rotate, Right:scale and Midle:
translate).
* Animation an Morph effect.
* Povscript and Mesh file generation(and Run if
povray is installed). VRML2 and OBJ files also
supported.
* More than 100 well known examples.

An applet Java can be found at :

GTK an Xwindow version under work.

Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce you the achievement of the
most advanced feature for K3dSurf: 
Isosurface morph effect by using an OpenGL based
viewer. K3DSurf has now
an integrated OpenGL viewer that make it far
faster than before in manipulating height
resolution mathematical models. The gain of
performance is huge especially if you have an
OpenGL based graphics card, and the use of the CPU
can drop to...0% even with the morph effect in
action at full screen mode :). 
OpenGL opens new perspectives and adding new
features is now much much easier than before...
To resume, K3DSurf is changing and the question
now is : Are you ready for it?
Enjoy ;-)

Changelog:
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      ( 27 Nov 06)

1) Integration of an OpenGL based viewer. It
supports all controls for Parametric  and
Isosurface pages (except for the conditional
drawing) and can be used as an independent window
in full screen mode. To use the old 2D viewer, you
have only to click the green button (at the
bottom).
“Tools” and “ND” pages are under work to
use the OpenGL viewer for real time mathematical
models manipulation and generation. 
2) Implementation of the Isosurface morph effect :
An example is provided at the end of the examples
list,  in the Isosurface page.
3) Code optimisation and new mathematical objects
examples.
