Basil's 3D engine in the Verge3 downloads could do some nifty triangle rotation and 3D movement for you. You'd probably have to type up a VC file that defines three triangles, but other than that, it shouldn't be impossible...

Bizarre you should bring that up actually; this very morning I was looking over the 3d source (as I always do when putting off exam study) and realised that somewhere along the line I dropped support for basic drawing functions in favor of models, so I got frustrated when I just wanted a cube. So after the exam tomorrow and the hangover the next day I intend to do just what you're talking about, i.e. writing up the following:
3d_setpixel(x,y,z,colour)
3d_line(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,colour)

et cetera for 3d triangle, triangle fill, square, squarefill, cube, cubefill.

If this is something that somebody would use, I'll strip all the extra junk associated with big models and speed and release something barebones and simple. I'm open to any requests about how it should work or what it should do.

Skarlath, by the way, had such a script in v2 except it never saw much use as v2 could only accept a limited number of arguments in a function call so there was a lot of setup required for each triangle. I don't know where that fellow got to, but he was a legend.

Well, it's just that... you know... a simple to use library for creating 3d primiives like you'd see in FF6 and Chrono Trigger would be fabulous.

You know. If someone were to hypothetically use it in a hypothetical battlesystem, hypothetically.

If your 2 years of mathmatics were on calculus, you might find it of limited use...the meat of 3d is linear algebra. Matrices and vectors and dot products.
Regardless of what you do or don't know however, and regardless of what code already exists out there I still think you should go ahead and do it. You'll learn a bunch and it's quite fun. Find the 3dica tutorial and some notes on vectors, dot and cross products and matrix multiplication.

And I'll get you something shortly grue.

Yeah, I know it's the matrix and vector maths. That was part of the course. I keep losing practice multiplying matrices. Can we talk about math on the board? Should we begin another thread for it?

I've spent the last week neglecting programming or thinking about programming, and playing too much Perfect Dark.
