Question: How to do 3D data visualization in Maple?

Several years ago, I used to plot, in Maple 7 I think, 3D scalar functions by using procedures to create a 3D mesh and populate the data points before I could use plot3d.

I wonder if there is a more convenient (least coding) way to do it today? Consider for example f(x,y,z) = x^2 + y^2+z^2

A way to visualize a number of concentric isosurfaces of f is to loop with (is there a tag to write this in code block?): 

 

for i to 10 do iso[i] := implicitplot3d( f = i, x = -10 .. 10, y = -10 .. 10, z = -10 .. 10) end do

display(seq(iso[j], j = 1 .. 10))

 

Of course, visualizing the output is another issue.  I wish for an app to explore 3D data like Paraview. It does not have to be as sophisticated, but to display standard elements like isosurfaces and arbitrary cutting plane views would suffice.

If you know a package/app/procedure in Maple of this nature, please share it here. Thank you
