At the moment I'm writing a technical paper about a graphics algorithm which involves lots of hairy 3-D projections and intersections of polyhedra. I'll need to do some pretty complex illustrations for this if anyone is going to have any idea what I'm talking about. Obviously, I need some support in drawing these things, either with some CAD or modelling/rendering program. Facilities particularly looked for would be isolation of intersection faces between polyhedra, surface transparency and PostScript output. Possible candidates I've thought about are Mathematica and AutoCad. Are there any PD CAD packages for Macs or Suns that might fit the bill (I don't know AutoCad or PCs and would rather not get into all that right now)? Are there any tools specifically designed for doing 3-D illustrations? o----------------------o----------------------------o--------------------------o | Jonathan Rice | Email: jorice@cs.tcd.ie | He was a common fly | |----------------------| Tel: 353.1.772941 x2156 (w)| With a taste for fashion | |Computer Science Dept.| 353.1.6245415 (h)| They were thrown together| | Trinity College | Fax: 353.1.772204 | In a heat of passion | | Dublin 2, | woof /\___/ | - "Human Fly", | | Ireland. | /| |\ | The Horseflies | o----------------------o----------------------------o--------------------------o
