Hello once again, i was just wondering is there a way to make lines in 3d world, the command "line x1,y1,x2,y2" closes few visions in my mind, how about handling area between 2 pixels? Also, what if i want to create a polygons inside 3-x lines? Is it even possible with basic language? Feeling like, maybe i should start reading c/c++ after all.

Please give me a hit if you know any good tutorials in these things.

Pixels don't even exist in 3D, so no, there isn't a 3D line command.

You can however, create a box and set it's size so it looks like a line. Or create a plain and texture it with a line.

The problem is that you've not explained what you are trying to do, so it's very difficult to suggest the best way to go about it.

It would still be no different. But instead of wasting an hour trying, you'd probably waste 6 months. You can't do any more in 3D with C++ than you can in DB and it will take you a lot longer finding out.

You can draw a line in 2d from two 3d points in space converted to 2d so it looks like a 3d line, but the problem with that is that the line will draw over everything else...

That's false Think about boned animation and shaders, but I know you meant converting 3d points to 2d pixel data and the such.
