Plotting 2D coordinates and filling

[Asimov]

Hi,

I have this box made in 3ds Max and made a little animation.
Now I reckon I could plot this in 2D coordinates, using 9 drawline lines, but I also reckon I would have a hard time filling in the green colour.

I mean how would the colour know when it hits an edge?
I was originally going to use a large sprite, but then thought if I could copy the point coordinates from max I could do it that way.

If you want to fill an area with a single color, fairly fast, I can help : -P
With or without recursion, I've done both.

Could be done, but the problem might be a little more complicated than you think. You'll not only need to load the 3DS max coordinates, but you'll need to rotate the points in space and project them to the screen (2D coordinates). To fill the polygons, it would be easiest to break each face down into 2 triangles and fill them with a standard scanline algorithm. We will be covering all these topics when I introduce the fundamentals of 3D, but not for a some time yet.

Hi Chilli/Lux,

Luckily for now I have cheated. I have made an animated sprite. I didn't need it as big as this and decided to go that route for now. Will show you very soon why I needed this. It is for my main menu.
