Creating Three-Dimensional Scenes
Krumpe, Norm
Mathematics Teacher, v98 n6 p394 Feb 2005
Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POV-Ray), a free computer program for creating photo-realistic, three-dimensional scenes and a link for Mathematica users interested in generating POV-Ray files from within Mathematica, is discussed. POV-Ray has great potential in secondary mathematics classrooms and helps in strengthening students' visualization of three-dimensional geometry.
