Ok, I have a problem. I have a face (Triangle, so with 3 vertices). Every vertex has of course UV coordinates. Now, what I basically want is :
Stepping through each pixel of the texture the face has assigned:
for (y=0;y for (x=0;x ....
}
}
and I want to calculate the 3D Point (World Space) that lies in the face and represants the UV coordinate (x,y in this example). How can I do that.
Thanks,
Phillip
If I understand correctly you want to convert a UV in a texture (mapped on a poly) back to worldspace, right?
This is not really possible since the single texel is not just 1 wordspace coordinates.
Imagine a 4x4 texture mapped on a very large polygon. Now the texel at UV position 2,2 for example will be mapped on a big piece of the polygon, covering more then 1 worldspace coordinate.
Are you trying lightmaps or volumetric fog?
Then this is not the way to do it 
Sorry if I understand your question wrong.
