3D Computer Graphics Offer In order for me to assess a versatile (personally-developed) scientific visualization program, I would be interested in possible collaborations with some of you who read this form. It may be possible for me to rapidly provide you with a color hardcopy, transparency, and 35 mm slide of any 3D graphics you may need to represent. Beautiful and artistic colored lighting, shading, hidden surface elimination all taken care of. We would work out "credit" details on an individual basis. I can basically render anything for you that can be specified in terms of triangular facets, spheres, lines, cylinders, or altitudes as a function of x and y. Thanks, - Cliff at IBM.COM or CLIFF at YKTVMV (Bitnet) P.S. You can get an idea of the quality of output by observing 3D graphics of this program in any of the following: Pickover, C.
