K3DSurf is a program which generate 3D surfaces with mathematical formulas (Implicit or Explicit equations) with possibility of animation and morph effects.
It's also a "Modeler" for PovRay in the area of parametric surface (additionally export to VRML2 is possible).
Here are some key features of "K3DSurf":
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).
More than 40 well known examples.
Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
Trolltech's Qt/Mac 3.3 C++ framework - a download link for a binary installer of Qt/Mac 3.3.4 (GPL/QPL edition is provided with th e installer).
What's New:
Add support of isosurfaces (ie: f(x,y,z) = 0)
Isosurface Mesh file export for PovRay.
1) Integration of an OpenGL based viewer. It supports all controls for "Parametric" and "Isosurface" pages 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).
2) Implementation of the Isosurface morph effect : Use the example "Blob_Morph" located at the end of the examples list, in the "Isosurface" page , to test this kind of animation.
3) "Tools" page now use the OpenGL viewer for real time manipulation and generation of the mathematical models (v0.6.1).
4) Conditional drawing for Isosurfaces with the OpenGL viewer (v0.6.1).
5) Grid max for Isosurfaces now is 60x60x60 (before it was 30x30x30) and the maximum number of polygons is now 99.( before it was 9900) (v0.6.1).
6) A new independant component named "Control Center" to control the drawing for Iso/Parametric surfaces without having to switch between pages (look at "Options" page) (v0.6.1).
7) Infos in the OpenGL window; Bug fix and new examples for Isosurfaces (v0.6.1).
8) This package dont need additional requirements.
