Abstract

For applications in fine art, architecture and engineering it is often important to visualize and to explore complex mathematical models. In former times there were static models of them collected in museums respectively in mathematical institutes. In order to check their properties for esthetical reasons it could be helpful to explore them interactively in 3D in real time. For the class of implicitly given algebraic surfaces we developed the tool . Here we give an introduction to the program and some hints for the design of interesting surfaces.

Keywords: Implicit surface ray tracing models for fine art
