Is there a way to stretch a rectangular sprite to fit to varying/changing quadrilaterals, and then use it as a 2d image? I came from GML and in that language, this was referred to as a textured primitive. I found a way to draw primitives in DBpro, but it automatically calculates 3d persepective before drawing the primitive. I want to draw it directly to the screen for use in a 2d game, but when it draws the primitive in perspective it changes the shape, etc.

Maybe there is a certain camera position and angle that allows the primitives to be projected normally?
By 'normally' I mean, if I place a square primitive with a width & height of 64 at position (0,0) it will draw a 2d-square in the top left corner of the screen, 64 pixels wide.

Please help and thanks in advance

I don't see the need for primitives here... just use sprite...

You can change the size or scale the sprite to be the size you want, and also do rotation, alpha mapping, etc...

SCALE SPRITE spr, scale
SIZE SPRITE spr, xSize, ySize
ROTATE SPRITE spr, angle

Maybe I missed something...?

You can use "set sprite texture coord" for more complicated transformations, although it works in reverse to what you are after. You can also use textured planes if you set the camera to an orthographic mode using a plugin (Cloggy's d3d plugin has the command "d3d_set_ortho_projection").

@diggsey: yeah that does exactly the opposite of what I need. Instead of putting a rectangular sprite onto varying quadrilaterals, it puts varying-quadrilateral-sprites onto a rectangle. Ugh Thanks though.

@enderleit: no matter how I resize it or rotate it, it will still be a rectangle. I want to take a rectangular image and convey it onto varying rhombuses (to be specific).
