Title is a reference to Jim Blinn's excellent (although a bit dated) collection of 3D graphics articles, "A Trip Down the Graphics Pipeline" [1]. A clear, useful, and often humorous take on various computer graphics topics, including the legacy "fixed function" 3D pipeline. Highly recommended!<p>1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Blinns-Corner/dp/1558603875" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Blinns-Corner/dp/1558603875</a>
