In your first post you said that you rendered only parts of the scene. How far
did you take that?

Try this: make a new scene and rewrite your projection/transformation code.
Leave out the #while loops, extraneous geometry, commented code, etc., and focus
on projecting just /one/ single point, testing it for accuracy. Strip it all
down to the barest minimum and work from there.

If you're still having problems even after that, then post that new
stripped-down version here and I will try to help you. It's much easier for us
to help out when the code is as simple as possible :)

Sam
