3D Graphics is a Windows application I created for generating, editing, and rendering polygonal 3D objects using the Lambert, Gouraud and Phong shading models. The application basically evolved from the Surface Generator, which I created a few years ago to display 3D surfaces. Below are some of the features in 3D Graphics:

Generation of 3D primitives such as planes, cones, cylinders, helixes, spheres & tori

Generation of revolved surfaces, extruded tubes & extruded curves

Generation of terrain surfaces from land survey data

Single & multiple object selection with mouse or from object list

Single & multiple object rotation, translation & scaling with mouse & keyboard input

single & multiple object vertex editing to create new shapes from primitives

Object duplication, renaming and deleting

Texture mapping with replication, rotation, flipping and transparency controls

Bump mapping with replication, rotation, flipping, inverting and level controls

Hidden line removal with backface culling (ignoring)

Lambert (flat) shading with specular reflection

Gouraud shading (interpolated cosines) with edge preserving

Gouraud shading (interpolated colors) with edge preserving

Phong shading with edge preserving

Rendering of scene, area or selected objects

Multiple point and infinite lights

Perspective and parallel views

Camera pan, rotate, tilt, twist and zoom controls

Full scene or selected area (window) zooming

View saving, retrieving, renaming and deleting

Objects saving to file and retrieving from file

Rendered pictures saving to file and viewing from file

Projects saving to file and retrieving from file

3D Graphics also includes a basic ray tracer which can render simple analytic objects like spheres, cylinders and planes. I added the ray tracer during the early phases when I was developing a ray tracing application.
