Back in the day, I used to write perl to output povray source files for me. That works pretty well. Nowadays, you can pass a time value to povray and it will move, rotate and whatever else you tell it to do to your objects for you. I think there's even a nice frontend gui for it now.<br>

geometric elements (lines, rectangles, ellipses) around. Extra<br>
points if the tool facilitates 3D, perspective, and programmable<br>
point of view, but merely being able to do something like a pair<br>
of rotating boxes would be fine, I can extrapolate and do the<br>
coordinate transforms with that as a start. I've found a few<br>
modules with useless descriptions and much breakage; perhaps<br>
somebody can point at robust alternatives.<br>
