The old version I wrote did (using Neil ;). My current project is to =

3D-code I quess I'll make it to run under DOS too.

This new version will someday support (hopefully) the following =
features:
  -Multiple cameras **
  -Multiple worlds (if needed) *
  -Backface culling **
  -3D clipping  **  (currently using 2D)
  -Different kinds of light sources *
  -Shadings: Z-Flat *, LambertFlat *, Gourauds and Phongs
  -ZBuffer **, SBuffer, BSP tree (maybe)
  -Flat colored faces *,  Gouraud faces *, Textured faces (with =
perspective correction)
  -Linked objects **
  -Limited viewing area **
  -etc.
  and=20
  -will be very, very fast!!! *

I don't have a single file to do this yet. All my files are for testing =
purposes only.
What is it that you need for your game exactly?
Is the game 2D and you'd like to create sprites with figures in various =
viewing positions generated by sending the 3D coordinates of the figure =
to the engine? If so, I can't help you yet. Sorry. But stay on the =
list.... ;)
In other case if you have only picture you'd like to rotate see  Joy =
Magik's RotoZoomer http://www.rapideuphoria.com/archive3.htm#GRAPHICS =
and then there was this 3D sprite generator(may not be what you're =
looking for) ... don't remember who's and didn't find it from The =
Archives. Could somebody tell?
