    If you need help, I can mail you a copy of my old 3d engine. I never added the skewing faces part (though I had a crappy demo of it working), but it was at least a wireframe 3d thing. I quit on it because it was only for school, and I'm going to redo it with AS3.

    I have some illustrations prepared that I will release soon. It´s intention is to simplify the math model behind camera 3d Projection on the screen so in other words the basics of a 3d engine with a camera model (where the z-axis is not the focal depth but instead a object height coordinate).

    I dont like ready to go code,- or code alone (my crit to your project, no demo, no screens, no media at all - scares people like me already away). The way I solve complex stuff is to make lots of illustrations to better undestand the problems around it. So I could contribute some of my notes and illustrations - perhaps it might give some insight or ideas like how things work or how to approach things.

    Ok... here is an update since the plane demo... This is now a 3d cube, I also introduced backface culling and fixed a bug in the original demo! You can check it out here:

    Are the classes posted up somewhere for that then, or is it all in the svn ?

    Ah, I was hoping for the good stuff ( I wanted to see your back face culling method and the actual plotter ).
    If it's in the svn then I'll have to look next week.

    I'm trying to sort out a way to get the code into the svn by pestering the lovely guys at powerflasher to let me have fdt on the open source project licence so I can jam it in there using eclipse.

    You can just use TortoiseSVN ( http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ ), or use the free asdt ( http://osflash.org/projects/asdt) editor which is built on Eclipse.

    I'm pretty sure NetBeans has a good SVN module add on too. Had to use it with a java project a while back. TortoiseSVN is the best choice when it comes to using subversion. All I know though is Clean Up & Revert are your friends.

    Holy crap that does look nice!

    I'll follow along the engine, but also, would it be possible to tempt you into adopting Haxe for the engine? A bit late seeing that it's already up and running, but using Haxe would open up more possibilities for targets, especially with OpenFL. I don't think porting the code should be too hard...but either way, something to consider

    Post any live demos?

    Thanks, you can download the swc from the main site: http://www.zest3d.com and compile any of the following examples: https://github.com/PluginIO/zest3d-examples-fp11 The source code will be made available this month.
