sfx1999 · **Software BSP Renderer -** 14-07-2004

I am thinking of makeing a Quake 3 BSP render (software) and I am confused. I was wondering if anyone could explain how to do the following (vaguely):

polygon rasterization (converting polygons into lines)
mip-mapping (not generating mip-maps, but knowing which one to use)

I know it's a lot of work, but I have time.

Another problem I may have is after I clip models. I plan to use a coverage buffer. The problem is that I do not know how I would sort them. How would I know if one was behind the other?

Thanks for your time.

BTW, this is supposed to be a learning experience.
