Vector Graphics
September 28, 2000 02:26 PM
I think vector graphics is the right term... you know, like in the original Tail Gunner? The lines that pretend to be 3D? Even though this is a dead technology I am going to program an engine for it. It is a school project. I am going to just wade right into it and re-invent the wheel here, without even skimming an material on the subject, but I though maybe someone could give me a few tips. I think I can figure out how to do it on my own... but it would be faster to have someone tell me what *not* to do

3D Vector graphics can be EXTREMELY beautiful (Tempest, Star Wars, and the aforementioned Tail Gunner are all good examples). It''s also very easy to implement them in Direct3D, when you just do a SetRenderState() to draw lines instead of filled polygons! So everything (except texture mapping) applicable to standard 3D is applicable to vector stuff!

I know very little about Direct3D, and I don''t feel like learning it for a school project. I am going to implement vector graphics with DD and I really don''t care how slow they are, because it doesn''t need to be real time! If no one else has any ideas I will now begin reinventing the wheel (and I mean now! I have MSVC++ open and a DD Template project open...)
