Hi monks, a while ago i was working on a cube that rotates along one of his axes. But i couldn't make it work and after a while i left it at that. Now i decided to rewrite, simplify and finish it. I did some other similar things since then that worked fine so i should be allright. My question has to do with adding depth to the picture. I use the same technique as they tought me in high school. So a 45 degree z-axis with the same length unit as on the other axes. So a 3-d coordinate like (x,y,z): @two = (440,360,80) would be converted like

$x2 =@two[0] + sqrt((@two[2]*@two[2])/2)

I hope you understand what I meen. What i would like to ask if there are better ways of handling this. Maybe a module that can support something like that, maybe some advice on how to better give depth to the image etc. I'm working with the GD module by the way. Any response would be appreciated. Thank you
