you could glue four triangles to a plain after rotating and positioning them to make a pyramid, the code would be simple enough, just the angles and exact sizes would need a little working out.

Check the codebase, there's probably a function

Just been doing that and nobody has done what I am looking for at the moment, so if I get it going looks like I'll be the first.

theres a pyramid in the media/models folder of the installation, unfortunatly it`s a DB pyramid with doorways around the base and no actual bottom, I made a simple one in 3dcanvas



try cutting and pasting that into notepad and then save it as an .x file, it might work (then again it might not), you could try downloading the 3d canvas demo or milkshape and make one, after that it should be pretty easy to scale it to fit, cheers.

Try using a search engine. Come on now, you're smart enough to get here and you think you have what it takes to learn how to program, but you can't find a web site? It took me less than 8 seconds to find the 3D Canvas web site using Google.

While there are friendly people here to help you, 95% of learning DBC/DBP is going to rest on your shoulders and your ability to reference the help files and the search capabilities of this forum and the internet.
