Well, it's a good start!
By the way, not to promote myself or anything, but have you
taken a look at the 3D classes I posted? I think you might be
able to easily modify some of the code to handle polygons of
your structure. The routines allow construction and simple
manipulation of entire 3D objects (and even speed things up a
little by eliminating "shared" vertices). I'm currently using
them to (quickly ) whip up some rotating objects, kind of
testing out my 3D-art skills. It's dog slow, and not as
fancy-looking as a single textured polygon, but it works! (I
guess adding documenation might help though; I'll jump on
that...)

Understood. From what I gather, perspective-correct textures
aren't really seen as that big a deal anyway (although I
certainly understand the urge to do it all "the right way".)

I'm looking forward to both projects.
