Toolbox for simulation of viewing 3D object from different angle

Hi
Does anyone know if there is software which can view object from
different angle? As if we are viewing an object in real 3D
environment. The object appears differently depending on our viewing
angle?

Can simulink in matlab do it? Or, VRML is the only one?

thanks

Matlab *can* do this (e.g. constructive geometry toolkit); but just a
couple years ago, "fancy" 3D was *horribly* slow.

Maybe Peter Corke's toolbox is what you want?

What are you trying to view? The onslaught of 3D video games should
convince you that many environments are available.

Here's a couple other toys:

Blender <www.blender.org> is a powerful open source tool that can do this
(and much more).

Maybe you would like to look at X3D (http://www.web3d.org/).
