Hi all,
For a visual effect, I want to flatten the XYZ coordinates of an arbitrary triangle into a 2D plane where I can then convert those to UV coordinates while maintaining a specific size/aspect ratio for the triangle.
So for instance, I have a triangle in an arbitrary plane, but I want to convert it so that it rests in plane z=0 while maintaining the dimensions of the polygon.
Is there a quick and easy way to do this? I can think of all kinds of weird methods, like picking one point on the triangle and then using distance between the points to extrapolate the same triangle with z=0, but if there's a smarter way to do it, I'd like to know!
Thanks!
