A few days ago I got hold of a utility that converts Imagine objects to
another binary format giving easier access to all the points and faces. I
wrote the 3d routine in AMOS and used the binary data to draw the objects
and faces, my problem with it now is hidden face ellimination on inconvex
objects... Doing it on the convex objects is quite easy so i can have
spheres, cubes etc but when I use toruses and irregular objects like
models of the Enterprise(!) the faces obviosly get muddled(I use only the
most technical jargon ;) So... does anybody know how to solve this
nasty problem, any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Oh, almost forgot, the faces are in clockwise order when they are saved
If you want to get hold of the object converter it`s on the Aminet
somewhere, can`t quite remember the name but I think it`s in the 3d/
drawer.
