We present a powerful new tool to disentangle the 3-D geometry and kinematic structure of gaseous nebulae. The method consists of combining commercially available digital animation software to simulate the 3-D structure and expansion pattern of the nebula with a dedicated, purpose built rendering software and graphical user interface that produce the final images and long slit spectra which are compared to the real data.
