There are certainly a slew of interesting IPAS routines that you could
write to specifically illustrate mathematical or physical processes. And
don't forget the the Poco C interpreter within Animator Pro is extremely
handy… much more convenient than having to use a 32-bit compiler to write
IPAS processes (but not 3D, of course).

Edward,
I've animated 3d mathematical surface functions by morphing between
various surfaces – you can watch the surface change with changing
parameters! Would be useful for various disciplines.
I generally use MATHCAD (Windows version) to compute the surfaces and
output a matrix to an ASCII file. I wrote a short C program to convert the
matrix into a DXF for 3DS to chew on.
