I’m making simple 3D transformations in Flash to rotate stuff, but I get distortions. I can rotation left, right, up, down, but not diagonally since it completely distorts my faces (the ones I draw).
I think I fail to move the camera somehow, but I’m not experienced enough to understand my error.
Here’s the file: http://www.2shared.com/video/J7ahd6VG/final.html
Example: when a face is rotated at about 45° around the y axis (vertical to screen) and then rotated around the x axis the perspective doesn’t feel right… the faces are too narrow.
What I do is multiply the rotation matrices between themselves (the mouse position providing the angles) get the transformed points, project them to screen and draw boxes with them.
I used this tutorial to get me started: http://bgstaal.net/blog/?p=57
Has anybody encountered a similar problem?
See my own comment below the question for the answer, PEBKAC as usual.
