Visualization?
Author
I was trying to construct a 3D Solid Pyramid, and i was wondering: How do all the proffesionals visualize the coordinates? because right now, its only a 3 Sided pyramid, with half of it missing... Heres the coordinate code:
Usually the professionals make their models in a 3D Modeler, rather than hand writing the coordinates.
A pyramid is not hard to visualize, draw it out on paper and then formulate the vertices.
"Usually the professionals make their models in a 3D Modeler, rather than hand writing the coordinates."
Sometimes it''s useful to procedurally generate shapes that fit a certain criteria, (spheres, cones, cubes, pyramids, etc). Do you think 3D Studio Max loads the spheres from a file? It''s more useful to have algorithms that generate these objects in different ways, as to allow more diversity in the object''s make-up.

Of course primitives are more easily generated through an algorithm, but thats not hand-write the coordinates, now is it? Also, I''m pretty sure that D_JildQuantum was referring to objects other than primitives when he spoke of "professionals".

Ok, i figured out what my problem was. I had it in TriangleStrip mode, instead of TriangleList... Oh, and i was wondering, how do i get it to rotate in 2 directions at once? i can only get it to rotate along one axis each time...

Nevermind i solved it on my own ^_^ i knew it had to do something with Multiplication, and it wouldnt let me multiply in the function call.
