I've just implemented a function(in java) which converts a point in 3d space into a 2d point to be projected on screen the problem is that every time the camera location goes beyond a point it displays a sort of mirror image of this point. heres the code I use:
the camera class just defines the location of the camera(x, y, z), the rotation(x, y, z) and the field of view(viewerPosition)(x, y, z) which is usally somthing like(0, 0, -1000). I know this probaly isn't the most efficient way of converting a point but it does work. any ideas why its displaying the inverted point if the camera is pointed in the opposite direction?
You probably get the inversion when the point is actually behind the camera from the cameras point of view. In that case the point should actually not be visible at all.
The normal way to transform a point by a camera or any other transformation is by a simple matrix multiplication.
p' = TransformationMatrix * p
where TransformationMatrix is a 4x4 matrix and p is a 4-vector with (x, y, z, w) w normally beeing 1. The resulting point lies in clip space where you would do the clipping to the view frustum by comparing x, y, z to w. The final step is the perspective division x/w, y/w, z/w. Then you only need to scale and offset the values to fit into your viewport.

I think the transformation matrix you are taking about is just the result of:
but this is the first time i've worked with matrices/3d graphics programming so im not sure.
translatedPointMatrix = xRotationMatrix.multiply( yRotationMatrix.multiply( zRotationMatrix.multiply( pointMatrix.subtract(camPointMatrix) ) ) );but this is the first time i've worked with matrices/3d graphics programming so im not sure.

so would i only have to multiply the vector by one matrix to get the 2d screen coordinate?
