3D Engine Building

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Does anyone out there know how to represent, model, and render a 3D scene or world. Could someone refer me to a good tutorial? BTW not afraid of math

Most of the community's progress on a 3D engine is compiled here; it hasn't been touched in a while but it covers a lot of different methods.

I'd also suggest reading into some Wikipedia articles on 3D graphics. Most rendering involves trig functions to draw points and lines in relation to a focal point, and data structures in TI-Basic such as lists and matrices can make it easy to render larger image (though not necessarily quickly).

The solution to a complex problem is often a simple answer.

I have an FPS-like 3D engine, Iam considering adding it to the archives.
