Oh, you guys meant THAT book. Its was written by X Watt (forgot
the first name) and is entitled "Raytracing and Programming" (or
something very similiar). It mainly covers what a mesh is, how you
generate it using modellers (no tesselation algorithms, or
algorithms for bending, twisting etc), and then moves on to what
raytracing is and how it can be implemented.

I'll have a look!

I'll come up with some and share!
