How would I go about making a Z-Depth for a 3D Wireframe (Very very basic model), all created with canvas? I'd like to use something like this to create a wired 3D world. It would be very very interesting

Well, what is the wireframe? Assuming you want something like a cube, then to represent it in 3 space, you would need to have points that have an x, y, and z values. The cube is comprised of 8 of these points. So, either you can have 8 sets of 3 ints in an array, or perhaps declare a structure to represent a point in 3 space (and create an array of 8 points). Either way, it is pretty standard.

I"ll use this information. Thanks

Hblade, if you get very far with this, please let me know. I've been trying to get into 3d programming as well

So far I've gotten nowhere. I can't figure out the algorithm. And I won't have internet for about a week or 2 so that sucks xD

You need to have an array represented as so...
vertices[numberofpoints][2][10];
coordinates
[1][[0] being x value
[1][1] being y value
[1][2] being z value

connections
[2][number] being what a line is drawn to, example:

vertices[0][1][0,1,2] = 1;
vertices[1][1][0,1,2] = 5;
then
vertices[0][2][0] = 0; <- Makes it connected to the point in vertices[0]

Then for drawing it you need to use projection, sin, cos, tan etc, to place the points prospectively on the canvas.

!!EDIT!!: You need to plot the poitns first, THEN use lineto to draw the lines in using the vertices connection in the array.

savvy

PS: I will eventually work on such a projection algorithm, but right now I'm working on something else. XD

Sounds insanely copmlicated haha. But I bet once you understand it its simple.

It's not too complicated to grasp the concept, its more the math behind placing the depth of the coordinates that is the issue!
