The Windows installers can be used to install or update Descend on Windows 7 or newer. Graphic drivers with OpenGL 3.3 or newer are required to run this program.
Descend is an open source program for drawing 3D surfaces from parametric equations. It uses a custom, very fast language called Misc to calculate the geometry. It also uses OpenGL to render scenes with high quality shaders.

News
Descend 0.2 released
The first official version of Descend is available for download. It's quite simple, but it's already possible to create quite impressive graphs and scenes, as you can see in the screenshots. Descend comes with three built-in project templates that you can use when creating a new project, so you can quickly start playing and experimenting with it. Also don't forget to check the documentation, available by pressing F1 and clicking the Quick Guide button.
