...check back issues of "Computer Graphics", published by the SIGGRAPH
(Special-Interest-Group-on-computer-GRAPHics) division of the ACM
(Association of Computing Machinery).  The wonderful folks at PIXAR
have probably written quite a few articles there in the past.  You
should be able to find back issues at your nearest school of
engineering library.

(SIGGRAPH ain't a bad thing to be a member of either; you get the 
magazine and other benefits, and it's cheap if you're a student =).

Also look for references (books & articles) on "Renderman", which is
the PIXAR-developed computer-rendering environment now being made
available to the rest of us.  They used it (or were at least
developing it) to make "Tin Toy" and the snowman one.  Amazing stuff!
