I made this animation using Python and the matplotlib module (and scipy...)
You just need to know linear algebra, and how basic perspective works (pinhole camera model). I simulated a camera looking at a cube, moving over a circle parallel to it, and away from it. This is the "Hello World!" of computer graphics... ;)

@ciitv I sent a new, similar video youtube K5qoS781qOw and the source code is at pastebin HGzF8n9k

@ciitv Dude, I'm terribly sorry I never answered this. Problem is I have to find the code in my heap of old files... But it's really not hard to do if you know one thing or two about linear algebra. If you don't look for it, learn how to use a rotation matrix!... :) The documentation from Open GL has some stuff about this.
