com-kee YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 5 London, UK	Gestalt: mouse position to 3d Nov 14th, 2006, 4:34am   Hi, I'm currently using the Gestalt GL lib and just have no idea how to convert the mouse xy-position into a xyz-position of my camera.. without using the Picking objects. Anyone done something like that before?

I'd suggest using some sort of bounding box for your objects, rather than testing every triabngle though, as it's likely to get quite slow.
