Hello, i want to get 3D position from screen, I do as follows:




-draw primitive then i get cursor position and i check if i hit the face (if i hit i call RECOVER_3D_COORDINATES function)
what exactly i do in this function:


clear screen
draw primitive the face is drawn two times: first from LEFT to right (left side is black and blends to right in red)

then i pick up red color value from mouse point and calculate UX

second is that i draw face from up to down from red to black



then i pick up red color value from mouse point and calculate UY

i know where are vertices so i can calculate the range (vectors) from first vertex to clicked point described as UX,UY
model->VBO_V[vbo_i+2], - this is the first vertex (top left)
model->VBO_V[vbo_i+3], this is top right vertex
model->VBO_V[vbo_i] this is bottom right
model->VBO_V[vbo_i+1], is bottom left vert


then i make vectors from first vertex to top right vertex (rangeX)
and i make vector from first vertex to bottom left vertex (rangeY)

then i multiple them by UX and UY and then add those two vectors to first vertex to get coordinate



THE PROBLEM IS when i approach closely to face (in example few kilometers) and i click to show where clicked in 3d space the GREEN SPHERE APPEARS IN DIFFERENT POSITION: shown on this vid:

i have set shade model to GL_SMOOTH and there is no fog and lighting it should work but it does not =0

and i have similar code that works fine: but this code is for something else

AHH and one more thing please do not reply that i should use gluUnProject because it does not work for me
