...but it dos not help to get a good result.
if anyone have an idea how to scale it down to get a good result i will be happy.

You need to use a logarithmic scale to handle that. Also, be aware that single-precision values are too crappy to represent such distances. Either use double-precision values or use longints.

PPS.: an request to paul doe, for an object i think an z sorted drawing where an nice feature ;)

No, it won't. This was only a quick example for someone that requested it. It is neither a '3D engine' nor will I be adding 'features' to it. My advice would be to:

• Use the math routines and add support for quaternions (so you have an easy way to do slerps)
• Write the engine using OpenGL or Vulkan (the math routines were ported directly from another framework that uses OpenGL but written in C++)

This little snippet isn't going to be updated nor enhanced, so expect nothing from it. Sorry.

hehe okay so i have to imlement it by my self ;)

logarithmic scale sounds good so i will take a look thanks.
i dont like OGL programming but anytime i will take a look to it.

Rather cool stuff.

Rather cool stuff.

Thanks. I'm currently refactoring this crap to be a real 3D engine. OpenGL 4.0+ for now, Vulkan later (if I can spare the time to implement a Vulkan backend, that is).

The general idea is to have a mostly barebones but easily integrable 3D engine in FreeBasic, that you can use either as a base for your own 3D engine, or rapid prototyping and debugging of 3D stuff. But, since I'm going to use some rather advanced OOP concepts and designs, probably I'll be the only one that'll be using it. That's why I've been trying to explain some basic OOP concepts around the forum (see the thread on S.O.L.I.D. that dafhi opened), with little luck so far =D

I'll adopt S.O.L.I.D. and anything else you can throw at me once my brain decides to flip on. I love these amazing concepts you present

Yes, but you're the only one as far as I can tell XD

:P

[paul doe]

Hahaha no, I'm not -refactoring is the key word here. Which means that the new code will not be anything like this. This is just a snippet, that was hastily coded from scratch for illustration purposes =D

[Haubitze]

oh nice, so i dont have to switch to OGL? if your refactored Engine is similar in handling and programming i can switch to this.
so i cant wait for the refactored thing. ;)

Not only you'll have to switch to OpenGL 4.0+, you'll need to be proficient with it, and with GLSL, to use it.

Definitely not. Event-based with another, completely different processing model =D

[Haubitze]

hehe so then surprise me ;D

I will ;)
