Osama,
You need to create triangles anyway. What you could do is index
your points at that plane (pb[0], pb[1], etc. and create the same array
of indexed points at a plane at a distance "length" above the first plane.
The best you could do is to number that second array of points as
e.g: pt[0],pt[1] and so on. After, you have to create a loop to build
your triangles, kind like:
j=0;
for(i=0;i<maxnr-1;i+=2)
{
arrpt[j ]=pb[i];
arrpt[j+1]=pb[i+1];
arrpt[j+2]=pt[i];
arrpt[j+3]=pt[i];
arrpt[j+4]=pb[i+1];
arrpt[j+5]=pt[i+1];
j+=6;
}
This for a TriangleArray. There may be better ways, perhaps using
indexed arrays etc. However, you should keep in mind that it is
important to create the points in a counterclockwise direction. Also
you should create your normals in this loop.
If you think this is the right way to go, please, let me know how it
finally worked.
Success, Dirk
