Acrobat 3-d

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat3d/

The latest Acrobat has embedded 3-d graphics support. There is a demonstration pdf with a 3-d model of a turbine. Instead of a turbine I have started drawing with dots, triangles, and squares. Rather than starting with geometric primitives such as these, it looks like some other people on the internet start with a more ambitious object viewer program. Perhaps with such an application a beginner could display a turbine similar to the one in the pdf if they had access to the right data.

The demo requires Acrobat 7 to be installed.
