i'm a little sick this weekend (yet again). So i am trying the best i can. I fix a few issues but the biggest is I need to fix problems with the Z axis.

I fixed a few clearing bugs today as well (so you can now see the car select model somewhat. Anyways I'll post some new pictures later tonight.

z-axis? is that forward and back?

**DPyro** · April 2nd, 2006, 04:30

Taken from google:
The axis in the plane of a laminate used as 0° reference. The y-axis is the axis in the plane of a laminate perpendicular to the x-axis. The z-axis is the through-the-plane thickness.

Well in 3d its just another form of axis to move on depending on the origin of the cordinates (cartisian plane? not sure on term or spelling).

My problem comes after 3d is transformed into 3d cordinates for the screen. In this sense, Z is the screen depth. The larger the value the farther back on the screne it goes. Z is how things are sorted when drawn so things can go infront or behind objects.

This is why the flag is over everything in that image when its supost to be behind everything. I am not using proper z cordinates and insted or just painting them in order (the 2d was drawn first then the 3d was drawn over it).

Hope it can Help U Shadowblind

**Shadowblind** · April 2nd, 2006, 05:10

yeah, forward and backward on a 3 dimensional scale

**stotheamuel** · April 2nd, 2006, 06:35

well its not always forward and backwords

the difference between 2d and 3d is z!!! yay its a song for you to remember
