Hi, in general you can do everything with Mathematica that you can do with any other programming language. Can you more specific ? I know what a hemispherical view ist but I have no idea what a "rasterization of a vector" is. And what is the "simulation of 3 million cylinders" Say you use 18 x 2 polygons for your cylinder. Probably you will wait forever until Mathematica's PostScript renderer has drawn 60 * 10^6 polygons. You can try MathGL3d http://phong.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~kuska/mathgl3dv3/ and a good graphics card GeForce 3/4 or ATI Radeon to render 60 Million polygons but you have probably to wait 30-45 seconds.
