I think I have found an easy way to post code by using Wikisend, if it works I will post the code so far. The ball now has a globe skin on it.

That's pretty cool. You able to place more objects on the screen and put them at depth?

I can not yet put multiple objects but that is only because I have only loaded the nodes for one. The depth I am working on, it is a simple calculation involving the z vector and then factor X and y. I will post on Wikisend tonight.

Evening all. I was going to post the code on wikisend, but I cannot get the upload to work. I have given in!!! If anyone can tell me how to post the code some how, somewhere I will do so. Or I can email it.

Hi Ric,
I've never used Wikisend, but might Github be a suitable option? I've used that in association with a MOOC course I did, and it seemed OK.
https://github.com/
I think the Wiggio forum and its file storage are still functional: you'll need to sign up to upload, but it's free:
https://wiggio.com/
Richard has now set up what looks something like a mirror of the old Yahoo forum on Groups.io:
https://groups.io/g/bb4w
I haven't really got to grips with that forum yet, but it looks like once you have signed in you have access to a file storage area, though my guess is that that would only be accessible to others who were members.
I'd certainly be interested to see what you've done - both in terms of code and function.
Best wishes,
D

Hi Wildmooer,
If you are relatively new to programming you may find Ric's code a bit intimidating - most of it is in assembler, I think!
It might be worth playing with the Direct3D library supplied with with BB4W -even that is tricky, but simple things (like a mapped rotating sphere!) are relatively straightforward - indeed a working demo is supplied (world.bbc, in the graphics folder of the examples).
Best wishes,
D

Cheers D
I will have a look at these tonight.
You are correct in assuming most of the code is in assembler, with only the setting of parameters in basic. I have loosely annotated it , but even so unless you are very au fait with assembler it will look like gobbledegook😋

Hello again,
I have had a go at all the suggested methods of uploading my code, but without sounding to negative I feel like a blind man playing snooker. I have failed with every attempt. And I am thoroughly brassed off. I will keep updating where I am up to and post results via video on youtube. but unless someone is prepared to ring me up and walk me through some form of file sharing I am giving up. Sorry to those who are following, but I really cant get any of the methods to work.

Dropbox is supposedly very good. And it has some high profile programmers behind it.
Actually Richard was the one to recommend it to me so here is the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/
I have it but have no major projects done to use it yet.

Thank you for the advice. I'll try to understand the 3D library... if I'm able!

Latest update
I have now got to a point where I can transpose a picture on to the 3d shape.
Also I think I have found a way to upload the code. If this works do not to hard to break shape II, it has very few error checkers in the basic code.
I would suggest 120 faces and radius of 200 to start.
Hopefully these links will get you to the files (you may have to register for pCloud)
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZ262mZySqsUb9LH608Gww9JTQE0LffWyPy
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZj62mZSB4pTArNQrHxz6VjRHWh70fHIukV
Both files need to be in the same folder to run.
Let me know how you get on 
Ric

I downloaded the two files easily without any problems (no registration required), and the program ran beautifully on my Core i7. Nice bit of code, in a nice clear style!
David.
