2D camera perspective projection from 3D coordinates — HOW?

I am developing a camera for a 2D game with a top-down view that has depth. It's almost a 3D camera. Basically, every object has a Z even though it is in 2D, and similarly to parallax layers their ...

Scanline filling of polygons that share edges and vertices

In this picture (a perspective projection of an icosahedron), the scanline (red) intersects that vertex at the top. In an icosahedron each edge belongs to two triangles. From edge a, only one triangle ...

Greiner-Hormann clipping problem

I have a set of planar polygons in 3D space defined by their vertices in counterclockwise order. Let's define the 'positive face' as being the face of the 3D polygon such as when observed, the ...

Perspective projection with 90 degrees between X-Y axis?

I'm trying to create a game that mimics Tibia's projection style: , As you can see, a 3d point is mapped to 2d like this: So I've downloaded Three.JS and a lib to create a Orthographic Camera. But ...
