Since I don't have access to supercomputers etc I have had to use a lowly PC (386/33Mhz) to do my visualization. I've been trying to develop a 3d visualization of some risk theory research I'm working on and the only solution I've come up with so far is to use a CAD program (CADKEY3) and then do a solid synthesis and thus go to a fully rendered object (I need to represent intensity and motion within the 3d surface). So far things have worked out O.K. I've managed to get the surface defined by specifying about 90 3d splines. Intrepolating the resulting surface is getting a bit much tho. The problem is that I don't have access to anything that can do the computations for this sucker so I must use crude 3d drawing and then develop a first order primitive from that. Any suggestions?
