I searched, really I did. I've been developing this wireframe engine, and I've been trying to figure out how to do some basic texturing, but I'm stumped. Does anybody know where I can get a good tutorial on doing basic 3d stuff. (I'm using allegro/dev-cpp) thx
I didn't know Allegro did 3D graphics.
Any graphical api (non graphical even) with a putpixel method is capable of 3d graphics.
And addressing the original post question try these:

Exactly. That is the thing many people don't realize.
Allegro has supported 3D for a long time, just not that well. I think it uses Direct3D 5 or something. If so, you won't be able to do multitexturing (as it wasn't implemented until 6). If you were using pure D3D I could help you (sigh).
Actually, I was alluding to the days of when programmers didnt use industry apis, rather they started from SCRATCH with there own texturing algorythems and rendering systems. I've built a wire frame engine from scratch (with only the putpixel function as a base) in visual basic--creating my line algorythems, 2d-3d perspective ratios etc. etc. I gained an invaluable respect to the original masters of 3d programming.
How hard is it? Any tutorials on the net that actually teaches you how to make your own graphics library? (im just curious, not trying to reinvent the wheel).
I wasn't really trying to make my own graphics library (putpixel, mode, etc.). I've just been making games lately with allegro's basic graphics routines (primitives, bitmaps) and I had figured out how to do basic 3d stuff and I was looking for a tutorial on the parts I couldn't reason out myself.Quote:
