| 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.

| 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.

| Supposedly gets you past the 64k barrier in real mode - I have no clue what compiler this is supposed to compile for. It uses opcodes not allowed in BC's inline assembler, watcom doesn't use that kind of inline assembler (and doesn't need this extender anyway), and this is pointless for djgpp which only compiles 32bit pmode apps. I have neither TC (but considering that's a sub-set of BC I can assume it won't work) nor Quick C (but that's so old, it's inline assembler's probably incomplete too).

| Reads a 3ds file and outputs an easier to read format. Good utility with full source for reading .3DS files. It's easily tweakable (with a #define) to read from a file or memory and not that difficult to tweak for your own 3d structures. It's also done well enough that adding support for more features of the .3ds format should not be that difficult from a coding standpoint. Specs are admittedly hard to find.

N-Factor's first production, released at Wired'94 - a good "first-time" production for a new group. Lots of vector objects, some unlimited bobs, and textured planes - a top and bottom of the screen - but they are doing many things with this simple transform table: like really interesting flight of space ship over you (like in 2nd Reality), but textured (looks much-much better).

Good beginning on this demo. Blue fire effect, going into zooming routines to delay dots, to 3-d fire. There are other interesting effects. To get past some parts of the demo the user must press Escape. The music is also a little repetitve at times... Without a GUS I couldn't get the entire demo.
