Learn 3D Graphics Programming on the PC by Richard F. Ferraro. This book contains lots of programming information, but has SCRIPTING LANGUAGE information as well. It comes with a cd which contains rwView, rfView, rwpaint, demos such as rwMaze, rwKnight, and more. It also contains converters for 3ds and dxf to rwx. This cd will enable the RWMODELER (available on EepEep's page) to work.
