[Newbies] 3D?

[Eduardo Ochs]

Hi list,

I'm a beginner with a weird background: my main language is Lua, so I
found the chapters in "Squeak by Example" that are about the graphical
interface a bit hard to follow - I had to do all the exercises twice -
but in all the chapters about syntax and semantics everything made
sense immediately - or at least I believe so... I haven't read the
chapter about "Classes and Metaclasses" yet, I'll probably start it
tomorrow...

One thing that I would like to be able to implement in the next weeks
or months would be a way to rotate a wireframe figure using sliders
until I find a good viewpoint for it, and then I would export the
parameters of that viewpoint to TikZ using copy and paste. The figures
that I am working with are things like the .png below:

I explored the morphs a bit using

  World => new morph => from alphabetical list

but I couldn't find anything that looked related to 3D, and AFAICS all
the results for this search

  https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/search?search=3D&casesensitive=true

are very old, and the pages say that they don't work in recent
Squeaks...

Do you have any recommendations of starting points? Some package
installable via Monticello, maybe?

  Thanks in advance! =)
