QD3D 28 - QuickDraw 3D Documentation (09-Feb-96)

Another good source for up-to-date information is our World Wide Web site at http://product.info.apple.com/qd3d/QD3D.HTML

There is also a DTS search facility available at http://dev.info.apple.com/search.html

Apple's develop magazine has several good articles with QD3D information:

• "QuickDraw 3D: A new Dimension for Macintosh Graphics", develop 22, p. 6

• "The Basics of QuickDraw Graphics", develop 23, p. 30

• "Graphical Truffles: Making the most of QuickDraw 3D", develop 24, p. 42

• and more coming in future issues, including articles on custom attributes, debugging, and an introduction to NURB Curves.

The monthly Developer CD Series also has QD3D information, especially the Tool Chest and Reference Library editions. Use the Find File command and search these CDs for filenames containing the string "3D".

All QuickDraw 3D programmers should have the QD3D manual 3D Graphics Programming with QuickDraw 3D (Addison Wesley), available from the Apple Developer Catalog. This is essentially the Inside Macintosh volume for QuickDraw 3D.

The Apple Developer Catalog can be reached on the World Wide Web at http://dev.info.apple.com/apda.html.

The CD-ROM that accompanies the book contains files with much more information than that in the printed pages. The Adobe Acrobat version of the manual, "3D Graphic Prog w/QD3D" is a 1,226 page superset of the printed manual. The Toolbox Assistant (QuickView) database file, "QuickDraw 3D.qv", provides quickly accessible, on-line documentation for all QuickDraw 3D data structures.
