These are a few years old, and probably out of date, but back in the dark ages when i took computer graphics we were using FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS, by Foley and Van Dam, and PRINCIPLES OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS, by Newman and Sproull. The Foley and Van Dam book had prettier pictures. I was talking with someone a couple of years ago; he told me that cubic splines were now passe. Could someone tell me the currently preferred spline technique? Conic sections? david rickel decwrl!sci!daver
