Short 3D animations from the Physics and Astronomy Animation Project at Penn State Schuylkill. These animations are intended to enhance lectures and serve as visual aids, particularly for topics that involve 3D geometry.

Most of theses animations are created using POVRay, and converted to a single .avi file using virtualdub.
