projection

[powerpad]

I have some point p and a plane. Is it possible to defined a matrix like glFrustum with p in the center and the plane be the projection plane?

Do I need to specify near and far always or can near be far since near = 0 is not allowed

Do I need to specify near and far always or can near be far since near = 0 is not allowedOpenGL does not work by projecting vertices onto a plane, but by transforming them into a unit cube and then dropping the depth component. You still have to specify valid zNear and zFar values for this transformation to work.
