            Traditionally 3D plots of parametric functions expressed in Mathematica are computed interpretively and saved in a static form before display. This causes low graphic performance. In this paper we describe an approach to generate efficient C++/Fortran90 code from such functions. This code is linked together with a powerful 3D browsing environment and uses OpenGL with possible hardware support. Thus flexibility of interactive exploration of 3D scenes and animation options become available for the end-user.
