Zhu3D 4.2.2

Zhu3D 4.2.2 is released to be an interactive OpenGL-based mathematical function viewer with which you can visualize explicite functions, parametric systems and isosurfaces. The viewer supports zooming, scaling and rotating as well as filed lighting or surface properties. Special effects are animation, morphing, transparency, textures, fog and motion blur. Equation systems can be solved with a fast adaptive random search.

You have up to 8 lights, background settings, wire-modes or different illumination models. For picture rendering and textures all common pic-formats are recognized. You can define your own customized functions to any desired complexity level, nested or even recursive functions inclusively. For special purposes if-clauses and boolean operators are supported. Isosurfaces can use different volume-based algorithms.

Zhu3D is originally designed for *nix-systems, but runs as well under Mac OS X or Windows 2000-Vista in all 32/64 bit-flavours. It is fully localized for English, German, Spanish, French and Chinese and partially for Czech (Gui only). API's like KDE, Gnome, Motif, Mac OS or Windows XP/Vista are supported natively. All these settings as well as most others can be changed dynamically at runtime. The application comes with extended help files and a lot of examples. A precompiled and ready-to-go Windows version is available.

Enhancements:

• New Qt4 4.5.1 changed the file-dialog behaviour for *nix so that setting new default directories fails. Patched
• Added a small patch necessary for new GCC 4.4.x
• Starting a demo with an empty workdir crashed. Fixed
• Reduced size of the zhu-data files for approx. 20%. Back/forward-compatibility with the current 4.x format remains unchanged
