OK I have worked out how to divide up the space into triangles to create perspective: http://www.rjprime.co.uk/perspective.html However now I cannot for the life of me get the right matrix to use in the beginBitmapFill function to correctly map a texture. Can anyone help me with being able to ma

Hi Returning to this now as it seems simple distortion is not satisfactory and I do need to have real perspective. I have played a bit with Papervision and it's not too hard to render text with perspective. However the designs that I am working to require quite precise placement and orientation o

I'm actually working on something similar for AS3 at the moment since using papervision / having a Z axis would only complicate things for nothing in my situation. I've found a very nice snippet of AS1/2 code from senocular on the topic: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=128444
