Howto project a planar polygon on a plane in 3d-space
- by sum1stolemyname
I want to project my Polygon along a vector to a plane in 3d Space. I would preferably use a single transformation matrix to do this, but I don't know how to build a matrix of this kind.
Given
the plane's parameters (ax+by+cz+d),
the world coordinates of my Polygon. As stated in the the headline, all vertices of my polygon lie in another plane.
the direction vector along which to project my Polygon (currently the polygon's plane's normal vector)
goal
-a 4x4 transformation matrix which performs the required projection,
or
some insight on how to construct one myself
