Thanx for all the tips!
OK, I tried Tachyon? and the help file works.
I also tried rendering some ray tracings as suggested in Tachyon? by
constructing t=Tachyon() objects and all works very nicely!
Some questions about Tachyon:

The tachyon raytracing uses the tachyon class, called Tachyon. If you
type Tachyon? you will get a help file.
Sometimes it is nicer to work more directly work with tachyon, which
can be done by creating an instance of that class:
sage: t = Tachyon()
Then you can explicitly control the camera, l
OOPs, tachyon does work. I tried the following and all is well:
x,y=var('x,y')
a=plot3d(x**2+y**2, (x,-10,10), (y,-10,10))
show(a,viewer='tachyon')
Is tachyon the only 3d viewer on the liveCD then?
Also, why doesn't tachyon? give any help?
