To create this VRML structure such shown below, i have used these following Maple commands and options :
>restart;with(plottools):
vrml(plot3d(4*sin(s)+3*cos(t),t=-Pi..2*Pi,s=-2*Pi..2*Pi,
color=green,style=patch,coords=tangentsphere),
`plot3d.wrl`,background_color=COLOR(RGB,1,1,1),transparency=0.05):
