resources for learning 3D basics (Python / JavaScript)

While I consider myself a reasonably competent programmer, I have no experience with even the most basic graphics programming.

Are there any recommended resour开发者_开发技巧ces for learning the basics of 3D programming - preferably using a high-level language like Python or JavaScript?

Ideally, I'd like a simple hello world example in canvas or WebGL with a space ship moving inside a cube (all wireframes).

Unity is what I recommend but I've also heard about (but never tried) Panda3D and Worldviz Vizard. If you want to build it from the ground up yourself you might try Pygame though you may have to hunt for the right libraries. Other things you might look at:VPython, and PyOpenGL.
