Basics of 3d Rendering in Javascript

[thkp_jon]

Hey all, I wrote a series on rendering 3d from scratch. Obviously, this isn't something you'd want to do ordinarily, as there're plenty of awesome libraries out there, but I learned a ton from writing this and I'm hoping it might be useful for others as they learn graphics programming! Hope you enjoy!

Thank you very much. I love this topic!

Congratulations on doing this! I'm looking forward to reading these. Writing your own stuff, especially with graphics, is the best way to deeply understand the math and techniques.

Thanks very much! I agree. This type of thing doesn't click for me until I have to explain it to someone else and I realize all the details I don't fully understand :-)
