Drawing a single wireframe cube

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 2:07 am

Hi all,

I've tried several ways of drawing a single wireframed cube with little success (I desperately need this for the little space-travel engine I'm working on).

Of course, I tried a little TestSceneNode with the EMF_WIREFRAME flag set but that's not exactly what I need; the diagonals in the 6 faces are displayed, and that's exactly what I'm trying to get rid of.

I've tried a custom scene node which renders itself with multiple draw3DLine's but it doesn't work

Is there any way of drawing something like a 3d rectangle ?

Thanks already !

Nic

I tried something else :

I created a cube ms3d model and textured it so the 12 edges are shown without the diagonals. Unfortunately, from far away it gets very ugly (there's no anti-alias so it flickers badly)...
Ideally (what I look for) , the edge thickness of the cubes should be constant, whatever the distance.

Any idea how to do this ?

GOT IT !

Didn't know you could make "triangles" with just two vertices ...
