maple to oogl?

[addington at gallium.csusb.edu (Dr. Susan Addington)]

1. We went for Maple instead of Mathematica and are too poor to buy both.
How feasible (and easy) would it be to convert Maple 3d graphics to oogl?

2. I am trying to put together a semi-cheap modeling and rendering
package for myself. Do you have any recommendations on modeling
programs for freeform surfaces that can be made to produce oogl Bezier
surfaces? Or RIB files with NURBS? (I am just learning this stuff--
please excuse any syntax errors).
