Lately my precalculus and calculus classes have been watching episodes of this series, exploring the concept of spacial dimensions. Distributed under a Creative Commons License, the series is free to download and show in class, and gives an excellent overview of projective geometry in two, three, and four dimensions! Incidentally, the animations were created using POV-Ray, a free ray-tracing program that generates photo-realistic images using precise mathematical modeling.
Stumble it!
