May I reccomend "Zen of graphics programming" by Michael Abrash. (Coriolis Group Books (http://www.coriolis.com) ISBN 1-883577-89-6 price: US$44.99). As well as 3D graphics, the book also contains extensive coverage on programming the VGA and SVGA (including Hi-Colour graphics (but not True-colour)), and just about anything you need to know about all sorts of graphics. There's even a chapter about the basics of 3D maths. There's 834 pages in total. The book comes with a free CD containing Michael's 3D texture mapped 3D animation X-Sharp library (Using Borland C++ 4.02 and Turbo Assembler 4.0). Also on the CD is the complete text to Michael's book "Zen of Assembly Language". Just out of interest, has anyone attempted to convert the X-Sharp library on the CD-ROM to DJGPP? (although I'm more interested in the techniques than the implementation). While on the subject of 3D graphics, can anyone reccommend a shareware / freeware 3D object editor that I can use? I may try to integrate Allegro with a routine for reading in and displaying 3D objects generated by the editor.
