3D

Java Applet This written as an exploration of the simple basics of projective geometery invovled in 3D graphics. A few years ago, back in grad school, Lance Milleson and I developed the equations and algorithms for a 3D viewer (Originally intended to provide the shadow for some fractal trees). I developed this into the cute applet you see today. Notes: Dragging with the mouse rotates whole universe. Shift-Dragging zooms in and out ( drag down for a while ). Meta(command)-Drag rotates the closest object to the pointer. Each object has its own local basis, and so can act independantly.. The camera eye is not fixed, and so can move freely. The universe has it's own basis as well and so the entire thing can be manipulated as well. There are trace objects that can attached themselves to other objects and leave a trail.
