hi i know how to program in c/c++ and some basic knowledge of windows game programming, what book should i get. i want to make 2d space type games with 3dmodels either using open gl or directx, what book/s should i get. i just got dx in 24 hours. i will maybe start that soon. thanks for the suggestions if any

Though perhaps not specific for game, Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice by Foley, van Dam, Feiner & Hughes is a good starting point for building a library of graphics books.

thanks i think i will get that book from amazon. all the reviews are good really. does it require any knowledge of calculus or anything like that. thanks

are there any other good books that i should ask for or buy about using 3d models in 2d worlds. thanks

I''d get the opengl programming guide. Or Inside D3D. Or Advanced 3d game programming with dx7.

thanks . i have Advanced 3d game programming with dx7 but i dont understand the formulas. im only 13. ill check into those other 2 programming books though thanks again.
