Mmmmhhh, something else??? Just kidding.. OpenGL does some and is as standard
as it gets (my humble opinion). Any other library, will free you from
performer/OpenGl but it won't be very standard and thus portable, if this isn't
a problem with you, I would recommend the algebra library that comes with one
of the Graphics Gems books (I can't remember which one) The source code for the
first 3 books is available in the web...can't remember where either, but a
search in any decent engine should point you to the source code, it's a C++
library, operator overloaded for 3D and 2D CG.
