Although I have not tried this myself, I saw one of the PhD students from 
our department gave a seminar a few months ago on Daniel Adler's RGL 
package.  It looks pretty pretty cool.

demonstrated how one can rotate the fitted surface.  One can also change 
the light/shading as well.  (He was using RH Linux, but there is a Windows 
version available too).
