3d math by Lithium of VLA **+
11 Jan 1997 /code/3d/docs/3d_math.zip (11k)
Explanations of some 3d math concepts - I remember not getting the 3d rotations working correctly when I first started programming, but I'm not sure if that's my fault or the fault of the doc. Most of the docs are some simple linear algebra. They spell out the equations in the end for those who can't completely understand them. Text

3d basics by Synergist *
11 Jan 1997 /code/3d/docs/3dbasics.zip (2k)
Some basic 3d documentation - I'd never want to tell someone that this doc is a good place to start. The person writing this has no concept of structures, which severely ease the programming of complex things such as 3d systems. Text

A comprehensive doc on many aspects of 3d math and programming - Designed for those comfortable with math. It spells out the math concepts needed and shows their application, but by no means spoon feeds the information to you. C/C++, Text

Zed 3D by Zed ****+
20 Jan 1998 /code/3d/docs/zed3d095.zip (681k)
Zed 3d - a document explaining the maths you'll need for 3d. Word and postscript formats of the same file. Zed has an attention to detail and a great way to explain all the math. I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next. Text
