Visualizing and presenting 3D plots.

Currently I'm trying to put together a presentation in which I need to display a few three-dimensional plots of simple functions. These plots aren't terribly complicated to think about, but a nice graphical representation would help smooth over their discussion. I've plotted a couple of graphs using Maple, and while they look pretty good, I'm a little hard pressed to discuss them as static images. In the past when I've presented these plots, people kind of squint and ask where what axis is.
I'm wondering if anyone's ever had any experience making 3D graphs animated, so that, say, it will rotate around an axis slow enough to get the point across. I'm hoping this won't require more software than I have access to, but I can understand if it's more complicated than I realize. Or, if anyone has any experience plotting in three dimensions, maybe you can teach me a few things about how to not make things look like suck? Thanks.
