...It’s useful for creating cylindrical shapes such as pots, flasks, vases, bowls, plates, cups, glasses, goblets, or anything similar. The outer wall of the pot is drawn using a spline, which consists of one or more curved or linear segments. The inner wall is generated automatically. PotterDraw can export files suitable for 3D printing. It can also map synthesized or user-specified textures onto the pot. Mesh and texture properties can be modulated by oscillators for more complex effects, and the modulations can be animated to create videos.

NEWS: I am working on the Linux version. Will be ready in 2025. Maybe Jan. 3D character support is being added. "glh" which stands for Graphics Library Helper. It is kind of like OpenGL's GLU but contains extra functions and optimized functions. The optimizations are done with assembly and are for the x86 architecture. For Win32. For VC++6. It compiles and makes a DLL (and a .LIB for VC++6). The release version of the .H file is also included. Nothing stops you from using these functions...

Y.A.P.R.M. is a free-as-in-freedom modeller to graphicaly design 3d scenes and generate POV-Ray-files for them. Appart from the basic POV-Ray objects which can be used in CSG operations it supports spline based objects. Furthermore a vast amount of 3d-files can be imported and used with Y.A.P.R.M.

...Capable of reading a Scene Description File and rendering that scene. Yet in early stages of development (without further optimizations). Can generate animations using Uniform B-Spline Curve segments. Now available for iOS!
