3D Rendering with Python
summary
Creates interactive 3D scenes with VPython and GlowScript so code controls the physics not a black‑box renderer. Shows a bouncing ball in a few lines with gravity and inelastic bounces, a simulation of 1,000 asteroids showing Kirkwood gaps and Trojan capture, and a detailed 256‑antenna SKA station model used to check cable routing. Runs in browser or via conda install, updates object attributes live, and occasionally breaks during on‑the‑fly edits.
