I would like to take an image and rotate it along the z axis.. I know how to rotate an image like 20 degrees to the right... no problem.. I would like to also tilt the image backwards, similar to how the explorer icons look in Windows 7.. However I just need to do this to the image and save it. It looks like wpf can do this, but can I do it without WPF? Or any libraries out there that might do this?

Do you want a strictly correct rotation and projection, or just something that looks pretty good? – Beta Oct 30 '11 at 12:38

I would think pretty good would be ok.. it is for making thumbnails, so it would not need to be exact. WPF might be ok as the thumb will show up ultimately in a WPF app, but I thought of NOT using wpf as the routine might be cool if it was a service, that just rendered these icons automatically. – VulcanCCIT Oct 30 '11 at 19:59

I don't know WPF, but if you simply map the rectangular image to a trapezoid, that should be good enough. – Beta Oct 30 '11 at 20:31

I changed the question title and the text a bit. I guess I dont really need Z.. I am just trying to duplicate the 3d effect that the folder icons have in Windows 7... – VulcanCCIT Oct 31 '11 at 16:30
