Summary
-------
The m3D package is an extension to plain MetaPost designed
for 3 dimensional graphics.
Licence
-------
Standard LaTeX licence even if I also like the

Brief description of the files
------------------------------
* mpinputs: MetaPost input files.
o m3Dplain.mp (the very core of m3D, reading
it is better than read any manual)
o m3Dlib01.mp (a small library where one cand find
some common mathematical objects)
o One may add here new libraries.
* manual: a draft for a manual.
o m3Dmanual.pdf (to be read directly)
o m3Dmanual.ps (to be read directly)
o m3Dmanual.tex (the text [plain-TeX]),
o m3Dmanual.mp (illustrations, this helps also to understand
how to use m3D),
o m3Dmanmac.tex (personal plain-TeX format)
* trials: various things using m3D. Try them.
* gallery: a small gallery of still or animated images.

m3D – Extension of plain METAPOST for 3D graphics
M3D is another extension of plain METAPOST for 3 dimensional graphics. While the author claims it should not be regarded as stable, he believes it has value simply as a source of ideas for those who wish to implement 3D graphics in METAPOST.
The package (stable or not) exhibits some interesting abilities, both in the package manual and in the gallery that comes with the distribution.
