RealSurf

>>>Download (Win32 Binary) (for Linux users: RealSurf works perfectly under Wine!!!)

RealSurf is a tool to visualize so called "algebraic surfaces", which are the solutions of polynomial equations F(x,y,z)=0 in three variables. The visualization is done in realtime by utilizing the incredible performance of todays graphics processing units - gpu for short. The software allows interactive positioning, rotation and zooming of surface of moderate degree, as well as the adjustment of a nearly unbound number of surface parameters.

If you have questions concerning RealSurf's internals, just send an email. Here is also a Video of a rather old and slow Version of RealSurf (text in German). Enjoy!
