I would also add:
4. Get Martin Kraus' LiveGraphics3D and his amazing live.jar archive.
It can be found, along with full documentation, at
http://wwwvis.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~kraus/LiveGraphics3D/index.html
and can be called from within Mathematica, via J/Link.
(but I _think_ it would not take too much to write a smal proc that
creates a web page and launch the browser in a small window)
I find the graphics produced better than those obtained via
RealTime3D [1]
(illumination, point size and the possibility to let them spin are the
main reasons. Moreover, it can be used to produce interactive graphics.)
It is also free for non commercial purposes, or at least it was so the
last time I dropped by the site.
[1] To be fair, I must admit I did not have much time to experiment with
RealTime3D to see if there are ways to modify lighting, point-size and other
things.
cheers,
Peltio
