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.
