You might want to look into V-Python. It isn't software, but it is a
unix-based programming language that is specifically adapted to
three-dimensional representations, and which allows simulations in
3-d to be created fairly easily. One can even create videos in
V-Python that can be viewed in 3-d with the traditional 3-d viewing
glasses. Check out their web site at <http://vpython.org/>.

Never ask someone what computer they use. If they use a Mac, they
will tell you. If not, why embarrass them?
