This module give you the possibility to create simple 3D plots and animations with a simple interface. Just be aware that, While this module is quite functional and usable, it could nevertheless replaced in future by a more efficient implementation. The reason is not the quality of the Pre3d code, which is excellent in itself, but the usage of JavaScript/Lua for 3D graphics which is inherently inefficient in term of speed and memory usage.
