Hello again, I was wondering whether anyone has come across a good Graphics and Animation "Dictionary"? I bought a book called Advanced Rendering and Animation Techniques and, although it's good, it's still a little terse. Takes a lot of reading to distill the idea. I just want somewhere to go to find out about rendering and modeling techniques not offered by 3DS. Stuff like Lambert, Blinn, Radiosity shading types; NURBS, b-spline patches, Cross-sectional modelling, etc. Any ideas? Thanks James
