Just for the record: the libray is much older (1994?).
On December 29, 1999 we uploaded the entire GRASS GIS code base in the
brand new CVS repository to be online a day before the famous "Year

The original G3D library was developed by
(https://grass.osgeo.org/home/credits/)
--> Olga and Roman Waupotitsch: floating point, 3D raster

For history, see also (at page bottom):
https://grass.osgeo.org/home/history/releases/

and

I found some candidate publications coauthored by Roman Waupotitsch:
- http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.35.2375
- https://books.google.de/books/about/Simplifying_and_Deforming_Through_Hierar.html?id=psNrNwAACAAJ&redir_esc=y
