Well, this is sadly the best we have in the field, where by "field" I mean: "accessible algebraic geometry for graphics".

Blinn provides some notes as to where his material comes from (see the page). He also mentions that some of this material was presented previously in some of his Jim Blinn's Corner articles. In particular:

* the "Lines in Space" series: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7047281

* the "How many different rational parametric cubic curves are there?" series: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/jim-blinns-corner/97815...

Part of the reason why I posted this to HN is so that others can hopefully drop some more information on this "field".
