hey /g/, I want to understand how 3D engines work, in the sense of managing to convey 3D space through a 2D display.
Would you guys know any literature of note on the subject?

Imagine you have one of those plot point graphs like in grade school, now extend it outward from the board. You can place points in this now 3D "graph" just like you could before. Connect these points together and you can make triangles. Connect these triangles together and you can make shapes like squares, spheres, even complex looking things like a man's face.
This is basically an rough idea of how 3D graphics are stored in the computer. There's a problem however: when we look at things far away they converge to a point in the distance, with things up close looking more spread apart. If we were to directly draw a triangle that's immediately in front of the camera to the screen, and another triangle of the same size but simply 100 ft away from the camera, they would overlap perfectly. This is because obviously a 2D screen can't have depth. Everything kind of gets squashed/flattened together when it gets to the screen.
To counter this, at some point in sending the shapes over to the screen to be displayed, a mathematical transformation is applied (by which I mean we do some fancy multiplication). This transformation basically says that things that are farther back in our virtual 3D space will be moved closer to the center of the screen of the screen. This way, when things get squashed together, it looks like they're converging into a point off in the distance, just like in real life. If you want to see examples of before and after this transformation is applied lookup something like "orthogonal vs perspective view". An orthogonal view is how we refer to what it looks like before we move things around to make it look 3D.

How often do you guys scam websites like newegg or amazon or any other sites? you just tell them your stuff never arrived and ask for a refund.
whats the most expensive thing youve ever said never arrived?
i bought a sapphire r9 390 and 16gb of ddr3 (around $400) about a year and a half ago, they just left it at the front door without getting a signature so i said it never came and asked for a refund. i didnt have to jump through any hoops either, they just gave me my money back.

So, I'm afraid of the botnet but I still want/have to use Windows because software exclusive to Windows.
Provided that I don't want to use a VM in Shitnux then I have two choices
>stick with Windows 7 and pray that poos at Microsoft extend the support
>use a server edition of Windows
Any other ideas?

Regardless of the volume, my PC speakers are always producing static.
Been hearing it for so long, that now I'm full autistic and I'm hearing it everywhere I go, even in my sleep.
What can I do to reduce it, and how do I know if it's my motherboard or my speakers that are at fault?
Thanks.

The noisest part of my PC is the HDD. Once I put it to sleep, it's quieter than a kitten.
