Revolution IDL

Object Graphics in IDL are very powerful, but writing the code necessary to produce even simple results is quite time consuming, which limits their usability. Revolution IDL helps working with complex 3D graphics by combining these four main components: 1. A powerful and intuitive 3D-based environment. 2. GUI access to object properties and hierarchy. 3. Algorithms to produce advanced graphics. 4. A source code generation mechanism that extracts the IDL program for all the graphics created with the application. You will find this 3D environment powerful enough to make it your regular graphics environment. The IDL source code generation capability will allow you to take any scene that you create and embed it into your own IDL programs.

Update - July 22, 2010] -- Revolution IDL 2.8 supports IDL 8.0
