Also I have a problem with Mathematica.
I need to revolve a tree dimensional object, produced by the
GarnetSurfaces package (Ross Moore-Dept of Mathematics, Macquari
University North Ryde Australia around a certain axes.
I solve the problem by calculating the vector coordinates of every new
ViewPoint, but there is a problem when I rotate the object around
horizontal axes. Half of produced images ar the mirrored images of the
other half, so that I can see only the "front face" of the object and
not the back face. I think the solution is to fix every time the "up" of
the systhem. This seams to be a problem that has to be solved currently
in any 3D animation, but for me is the first time that I am confronted
with it.
So, can some one help me? Is there in the Mathematica Package a certain
function or atribut that specifies the "up"?
Thank you,
frank schobel
