Loading 2D image into 3D space
Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 1:46 pm
Not sure if the subject really describes what I am trying to do but I am kind of new to this so please feel free to educate and correct me.
Basically I have a 2D image that I would like to display in a 3D environment. Essentially, I would like to load a JPG into a 3D "world" then use mouse controls to rotate, pan, zoom, etc. this 2D image and view it at different angles. I know a billboard background is loading a 2D image into a 3D scene but that is always perpendicular to the camera whereas I want to interact with the image.
Any directions you could point me or code snippets?
Thanks
