Good reference/book for programming 3D C++?
I am looking for a book that will teach me how to program 3D games in C++. If anyone could recommend one to me, that would be great.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

I can't say games specifically, but there are some great books on OpenGL. It works on practically any system, and the graphics are amazing compared to a lot 3D methods.

Do you know any books on that?

I did. My library doesn't have any good C++ books.

Re: Good reference/book for programming 3D C++?
Two things: the main 3D graphics library for C++ is OpenGL, and you don't need a book.
Here are some links for OpenGL:

http://www.swiftless.com/opengltuts.html
And, if you're keen, a book:

um no
@slinger:
The are a few prebuilt libraries, so I don't have to right evrything myself.

Thank you. Excactly what I was looking for.

No, C++, but I'll look into that.

SWEET, I've never done 3D simulating before in anything other than scratch so I didn't know lol. I thought you had to code it all by hand xD
