Our 3ds tool handles this for us (wahey!) but for quads you need to
know that the coords are in Z format.

i.e.

Top left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right.

I believe this is related to the fact that the ps-x renders triangles
at the hardware level.

Remember that you values can only run between 0-255 :)
