FormWriter
FormWriter is a low-threshold, no-ceiling programming language for making 3D form. As opposed to using a CAD modeling environment (like 3D Studio Max or Form*Z), the designer generates arrangements and transformations of simple forms algorithmically: by writing code. The current Lisp implementation uses OpenGL 3D graphic libraries, to provide a textual way to generate three-dimensional forms: planes, rectangular solids, spheres and cones, and meshes.
