• This is an applet which displays a model where a software Z-buffer was used to remove all hidden surfaces. Clicking and dragging with the left mouse button on the displayed model will rotate the model so that it can be viewed from any angle. Note that the display will temporarily switch to a wireframe rendering while the mouse button is down - this is to keep the frame rate at an interactive level (> 15 frames per second).

    There is one control displayed below the model: a checkbox labelled "Wireframe". This checkbox controls if the model is displayed as a wireframe mesh without the hidden surfaces removed or if the model is displayed as a flat-shaded object with all hidden surfaces removed.
