#NURBS, etc..
5 messages in this thread
Hi anyone.. I'm looking for general info about 3D and pretty much
everything under its sun. ie: modelling-methods (nurbs, etc), animation
methods, current / leading technologies..
Basically, if anyone knows of a good book to buy or get
somewhere which at least summarizes these areas of 3D-ing, it would
be a big help. I've been looking all over C-serve for a FAQ or
glossary or something about 3D terms, etc.. but with no luck.. I'll
try the internet next, but if there's a good book out there.. that
would be helpful?

Thanks for the reference.. I actually have the "Inside 3D Studio" book (only
one Barnes and Nobles seems to carry!).. but I will look up the rest of the
references.. thanks.

In addition there's 3D Graphics by Foley, vanDam.. and 3D Animating by
Vince are two great text books. The first is the bible and the second
is also very good and add insights into quaternions which is
important in 3DS and 3D in general.
thanks for those extra titles.. I will look for them…
