DirectX8 Getting Transformed Vertices

[Jacob Roman]

Just incase GameDev and my Hotmail account are inactive cause of server issues (like today), I'm gonna make a backup of my code for obtaining transformed vertices in DirectX8, which is rare and hard to find:

D3DXMatrixIdentity Transformation_Matrix(0)
Temp_Vertex.X = Vertex_List(0).X: Temp_Vertex.Y = Vertex_List(0).Y: Temp_Vertex.Z = Vertex_List(0).Z: Temp_Vertex.W = 1
D3DXMatrixMultiply Transformation_Matrix(0), World_Transformation_Matrix, Camera_Transformation_Matrix
D3DXMatrixMultiplyByVertex Transformation_Vertex(0), Transformation_Matrix(0), Temp_Vertex

And also, I'm gonna need this C++ guru's crappy VB attempt yet working (after I fix it) "Test if vertex is within viewing frustrum" code:

Sub cullVertexToViewFrustum(ByRef MatViewProj as D3DXMATRIX, x As Float, y As Float, z As Float) As Boolean
    Dim p As D3DXPLANE
 
    'left plane
    p.a=MatViewProj.m(0,3)+MatViewProj.m(0,0)
    p.b=MatViewProj.m(1,3)+MatViewProj.m(1,0)
    p.c=MatViewProj.m(2,3)+MatViewProj.m(2,0)
    p.d=MatViewProj.m(3,3)+MatViewProj.m(3,0)
    D3DXPlaneNormalize p,p
    If ((p.a*x)+(p.b*y)+(p.c*z)+p.d)<=0
        Return True
 
    'right plane
    p.a=MatViewProj.m(0,3)-MatViewProj.m(0,0)
    p.b=MatViewProj.m(1,3)-MatViewProj.m(1,0)
    p.c=MatViewProj.m(2,3)-MatViewProj.m(2,0)
    p.d=MatViewProj.m(3,3)-MatViewProj.m(3,0)
    D3DXPlaneNormalize p,p
    If ((p.a*x)+(p.b*y)+(p.c*z)+p.d)<=0
        Return True
 
    'top plane
    p.a=MatViewProj.m(0,3)-MatViewProj.m(0,1)
    p.b=MatViewProj.m(1,3)-MatViewProj.m(1,1)
    p.c=MatViewProj.m(2,3)-MatViewProj.m(2,1)
    p.d=MatViewProj.m(3,3)-MatViewProj.m(3,1)
    D3DXPlaneNormalize p,p
    If ((p.a*x)+(p.b*y)+(p.c*z)+p.d)<=0
        Return True
 
    'bottom plane
    p.a=MatViewProj.m(0,3)+MatViewProj.m(0,1)
    p.b=MatViewProj.m(1,3)+MatViewProj.m(1,1)
    p.c=MatViewProj.m(2,3)+MatViewProj.m(2,1)
    p.d=MatViewProj.m(3,3)+MatViewProj.m(3,1)
    D3DXPlaneNormalize p,p
    If ((p.a*x)+(p.b*y)+(p.c*z)+p.d)<=0
        Return True
 
    Return False
End Sub
