I was surprised that this wasn't hard to do. I'm not much of a 3D guy, but smart people have already done all the math for me, so putting all the pieces together wasn't actually too bad. The hardest parts were figuring out how to distribute polygons efficiently and trying to remember how to scan-convert a polygon. (My implementation of that, by the way, is a complete and utter mess. There has got to be a much cleaner way of doing it.) The main thing that's killing me are those pesky cracks between polygons. My current plan of attack is to extend the vertex of each triangle away from it's centroid by half a pixel... any better suggestions? Loading...
