There's a commercial program called Live that lets you view 3D object 
generated by Mathematica in real-time. That is, once the data is in 
Live, you can rotate the object in real-time using your mouse.

There's a freeware for Macintosh called Rotater, that does the same 
thing. You can rotate Mathematica generated graphics in Rotater in 
real-time.

Here's the description:

Rotater v.3.5 by Craig Kloeden (craig at raru.adelaide.edu.au) is a 
real-time 3D visualization program. The program reads a straightforward 
3D data, then you can rotate the 3D object in
real-time using your mouse. There are also several converter written by 
different people for exporting data to Rotater format, including a 
Mathematica to Rotater converter. The latest version can be found at 
http://raru.adelaide.edu.au/rotater/. 

Rotater is the perfect companion to Mathematica (on Macintosh), and most 
importly, it's free.
