[gameprogrammer] Re: poly fill

I read up a way to do this with scan lines but unfortunately I have to
use 3d graphics primitives (qauds, triangle fans etc) to fill in this
polygon, so I can't do it that way :P
I don't remember EXACTLY how, but you can still do it with 3D primitives using scanlines. What you have to do is some projection. You need to have a projection matrix and used that to project the 3D vertices onto points along the 2D viewing plane (basically your monitor). That will give you 2D coordinates and you use scanlines to fill the polygon that way.
Unfortunatelky it's been an awfully long time since I did that by hand in class, so I can't tell you more specifically right now, but maybe that will give you a better starting point?
