APDA sells a source code package called "3d Graphic Tools".  Versions are
available for MPW C, Think C, or Think Pascal.  I think it does everything
Graf3d does, plus surface shading, clipping and hidden line/surface removal,
BSplines, and more.  And it has a manual!

There is no license fee for using this software in a product.

I recently got a copy of version 2.0, and am happy with it so far.  The
latest APDA catalog advertises version 3.0.  I don't know what's new or 
different.
