[Papervision3D] Line3D howto

[xero]

 hey, (yup, im replying to myself!)
i was thinking about this at lunch, and just
couldnt help myself but make a simple demo.

here's the link
http://the.fontvir.us/pv3d/lineObject/
and the source, of course!
http://the.fontvir.us/pv3d/lineObject/srcview/<http://the.fontvir.us/pv3d/lineObject/srcview/index.html>

i create a cylinder (that has a wide base and a small top)
that lookes more link a cone. and set it's visible property to false.
then i create a lines3D object.
then on the render loop, i draw a new line form
vertice to vertice untill the end of the object.
then i reloade the line object and start again.

this is VERY basic code.
like i said, i did it on my lunch
break ;) but it still should give
you some ideas.

try using diffrent objects in place
of the cylinder... have fun, i did!
