Possibly.  But I do find that robust 3D graphics implementations are the
disciplined accumulation of lots of "trivial" working components.  In my
experience, those "trivial" components take time to implement, even if each
component is relatively easy.

I've also found that "trivial" components can throw you a design loop,
completely independent of the implementation language.  Spherical geometry
is really annoying that way.  Why can't it just be a plane?  :-)
