yes, I hope that when i provide a math equation like x^2+y^2+z^2=10,
then blender will draw the sphere, of cause, the equation can be much
more complicated. Is it a good idea to integrate the k3dsurf into
blender? I found that k3dsurf is good at math equation surfaces
production, and it's also a free software.

thanks for the information!
