Though they may make the code simpler, fewer people will understand them. The only place one would use them would be in the rotations, but for this purpose, simple point rotation will suffice. > Are you interested in making a 3D software renderer using pygame? > Not really. This was my response to a thread about a perspective engine. I use PyOpenGL for anything and everything 3D, but before I learned how to use it, I used a program like this. Because that was so long ago, and the code was so messy, I just redid it, mostly for fun. Ian
