Or you can read the online version first.

Well, if you have money, I''d also pick a book about 3D stuff (like making a software renderer, 3D algorithms and the math behind them, etc.)


*butts in*

- Any recommendations on such a book?

Thanks.


>>- Any recommendations on such a book?

there is the ultimate bible in graphics programming out there: Computer graphics - principles and practices in C.
from fooley et. al.

2nd edition is current one, i think; but i have heard rumors there may be a 3rd edition.

On the math end I like "Mathematics For 3D Game Programming And Computer Graphics" published by Charles River Media

I'll second this. This book is a very complete guide to graphics generally, and is probably the best textbook I ever bought. It covers pretty much all the math you should need for 3D (although it assumes some understanding of matrices and vectors). I won't bother trying to summarise it here. It's too big, suffice to say it covers most things.
