Spherium allows for the creation of a cornicopia of curious 3D objects and offers full interactive control over lighting and orientation.

Spherium also allows for Hydrogenic orbitals to be visualized, all the way up to H I6 !

Any JPEG can be texture mapped onto the spherical object, which is defined in terms of functions of elevation (elev) and azimuth (azi). The same idea is used to define the transparency of the object.
