3D to 2d window

Hi,

I'm looking for a good example / tut. that will explane how
to get from 3D to 2D.

I need this for showing a frame of an 3d object

thanks,

Jewe

A complete answer would depend on what type of projection you wish to accomplish. There are various type of projections including orthogonal (which will not give you a sense of distance, but which is easiest to implement) and various angular algorithms. One start would be to check out

http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp?categoryid=40

but there are many resources available if you search the internet. This site has a few articles on using OpenGL as well.

I would add that cross-posting is by no means a nice practice.

The same thread has gotten a good answer in the Visual C++ thread.

This is not to say that galathaea's answer is not good though ;)

Sorry:(

greetings
