==<br /> Description ==

<blockquote>
<div class="Quote">
{{Quote|Attrib = {{DamonSlyeQ}}
}}
3 Space was introduced in 1980 for the Apple II game ''[[Stellar 7]]''. The code was written and re-written from scratch many times throughout the history of Dynamix. The current version of [[Torque]] still uses the extension .dts for shape files, which is short for "Dynamix Three Space".
</div>

==<br /> Design ==

<div class="Quote">
{{Quote|Attrib = {{DamonSlyeQ}}
}}
Some of the major advancements of 3Space include:

# Introduction of 3-axis rotation and solid-fill polygons for [[Arcticfox]] for the Amiga ([[Stellar 7]] was single-axis, wireframe)
# Originally there was no editor so that all points had to be entered in text form (coordinates). Later [[Dave McClurg]] wrote '''[[TSE]]''', "The Shape Editor" to do this visually.
# Introduction of [[w:Gouraud shading|Gouraud shading]] for polygons.
# Redo of 3Space for [[Tribes]] from scratch.
</div>

[[Kevin Ryan]] wrote the C-64 version of 3Space. It used the character display mode of the C-64 and would build the character sets on the fly to create the filled in polygons. <!-- Kevin Ryan may have some printouts of it buried somewhere. -->
