An entry level book on geometric modeling
This book is a definitive introduction to geometric modeling. However, the sections on solid modeling and surface-surface intersection are lacking in depth. A serious reader may consider consulting books by Farin and Piegl for Geometric modeling and Hoffman/Mantyla for solid modeling.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Ultimate book on Geometric Modeling
The book covers every commonly used geometric model as well as many related topics in an easy to read style and good layout. It also covers the mathematical methods used in the text making it the only book you will ever need for modeling.

Mortenson does it again!
I have come to rely on Michael Mortenson's books as my prime resource for programming computer graphics. Most books on this topic expect the reader to have an advanced degree in mathematics. But Mortenson has the ability to talk to you regardless of your prior knowledge of the topic (indeed, you'll feel you have earned a math degree after reading this book without even trying).This book is so complete that I feel it is the only book you'll ever need to understand the topic of geometric modelling. I highly recommend it (and any Mortenson book) to everyone interested in serious computer graphics programming.
