My standard answer to this question when it comes up is to locate the
May/June 1987 issue of Amiga World.  It's the one that has the ray-traced
robot juggler on the cover.  The article "Graphic Scene Simulations"
is a great overview of the subject, and it includes the program listing
in C.  (Well, most of the program.  Details such as inputting the coordinates
of all the objects are omitted.)
