Also, for for "near" setting, let's say my z distance from the nearest tree is 10 units. then by z/2 you mean that the "near" setting must always be 10/2 = 5 no matter where you move the camera?

For the Gratiuitous Triangle did you want it to be animated while rotating or can it rotate instantly?


If anyone is interested in a visual learning tool for projection settings I recommend downloading a simulator from http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_transform.html#example2. It taught me about near/far and also helped me with the home work
