Dear Mathematicans,
a problem I have been struggling for quite a while is how to extract a manipulatable Graphics3D object from the result of e.g. a Plot3D or RevolutionPlot3D call. By manipulatable I mean an object I can rotate or translate using "RotationTransform" and then combine with other objects such as "Cylinder". What I do not intend to do is use "Epilog" in a Plot3D call.
I am actually looking for the CORRECT Mathematica-way, i.e. the one anticipated by the Wolfram people and not some workaround that might fail in future versions of Mathematica.
Somewhat related is another question. Is it possible to put a texture on a "Cylinder", "Tube" or "Cone"? I do know how to place an image onto the surface of a Plot3D output (in a seemingly correct Mathematica way, see below).
Greetings
Ernst
img = Import["ExampleData/rose.gif"]
imgS = Rasterize[img, "Data", RasterSize -> {32, 32}]/255.0;
Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}, =
ColorFunction -> (RGBColor[
imgS[[1 + Round[10 #1], 1 + Round[10 #2]]]] &), =
ColorFunctionScaling -> False, Mesh -> False, PlotPoints -> 32]
