Wireframe
Does anyone know how to make a 3d wireframe project that renders an object, then adds faces between edges and vertices? I was thinking that if this is possible, then a full 3d game in Scratch might be possible.

Re: Wireframe
Hardmath123 made a wire-frame outline project recently. It draws the outline of the "S" from the scratch logo. It ONLY works in the flash player on TURBO speed - which means it does not work in the java player, offline, or in the normal flash player. If you were to add the faces, it would be even slower...
In my opinion, that makes it not currently possible o make real 3d games in scratch.

Re: Wireframe
Adding faces is much more difficult than a wire frame. The two things I can think of off hand that you'd need in addition to a wire frame (I'm close to a working wire frame myself actually) are these:
a) filling in the faces, presumably with pen (very slow)
b) finding out which faces are in front of each other
Edit: what would be more feasible is, if you're using squares, crisscrossing each square. While still a wire frame, it does make it appear more surface-like.

Re: Wireframe
I've made a simple working wireframe model here. I'm working on version 2 with filled faces, stay tuned!

Real-time? Regardless, that sounds really neat! I'll stay tuned

Re: Wireframe
Almost done! I can now draw a filled cube in real time! Now working on a compiler. This is really exciting.
