I'm looking for a book about the theory about 3D

I mean, how 3D works, how to make a 3D engine, without using any library (DX,OGL) is there any good book about it?

Check out "Real Time Rendering". The bible IMHO.

My only problem with the Foley book(s) (Get the big C one if you get his) is that its coverage of certain features is less then adequate at times. I have seen some books on the shelf which name escape me right now (I rarely have money to buy books). I do see a point in learning how all the graphics are achieved. It makes you a better programmer, and sometimes you find yourself needing to create programs which do much better rendering then Direct3D or OpenGL provide (and of course the work your doing is non realtime).

My name is my sig.
