Drawing in 3D

Ps I need help with a class assignment.
I’m just taking this Computer Graphics class so I’m knid of new to this concept.
I’m required to write codes(C/C++)for display of basic shaped in 3D.
Actually the instructor said the shape will be in 2D but will appear like 3D after shading etc is applied.

So, what you want?

Hey,
actually, I think what i really need now is probably any material(online) that I can study so I will be able to understand te conceot of 3D drawing better.
This would enable me implement the codes independently and if I run into a hitch I would ask for help.
