Cosmic Walk takes hard-to-imagine times and distances and maps them onto long walks. It features The Solar System, which compresses the 4.5 billion kilometres between the Sun and Neptune into a one kilometre walk.
MathMod
Visualize and manipulate 3D mathematical surfaces using implicit or parametric equations. Explore a vast library of pre-made models, edit scripts to understand parameter influence, and export creations as OBJ files or animations.
- Plot 3D mathematical surfaces
- Implicit and parametric equation support
- Large database of model samples
- Edit scripts and equations
- Export to OBJ format
- Generate animations

MathMod allows to plot 3D mathematical surfaces, described by implicit or parametric equations, and offers a very large database of model samples that can be generated with it. Apart from visualizing the actual shape, you are also free to edit the scripts and equations in order to understand how each parameter influences and reshapes the model. Moreover, MathMod can also be used to export to OBJ format and generate animations that showcase how the model morphs as it is given new parameters to work with.

Verdict
Cosmic Walk and MathMod are too close to call on the numbers: across 8 compared parameters — price, rating, ratings volume and ads among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
