GameDev.net has some wonderful articles on 3d mathematics... http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp?categoryid=28 Like this one on Vectors and Matrices... http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1832.asp And this one on 3D rotations... http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1279.asp Once you get those down, jump into Quaternions (used quite a bit in skeletal animation)... http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article428.asp -- Jeffrey "botman" Broome _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
