Hi,
a)
surf = Cases[
Plot3D[Sin[x*y], {x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi}], _GraphicsComplex,
Infinity];
and
Manipulate[
Graphics3D[
{surf, Sphere[Append[pnt, z], 1]}],
{{pnt, {0, 0}}, Slider2D}, {{z, 0}, -2, 2}]
b) Epilog work only with 2d graphics never with 3d
c) MathGL3d can do textures but Mathematica not
Regards
Jens

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.
