    Direct3D with VB6

    I've tried making a blackjack game using image controls for the pieces.
    Way too slow and flashed badly.

    I'd like to try it with Direct3D in VB6.
    I want the 3d because the players should be able to shift their view from directly over the table or to a sitting position.

    I haven't written anything using DirectX/3D.
    For now, I need to learn how to make a 3D BJ Table and place it in a room.

    Any tutorials or tips would help.

    Thx

    The best way to make 3D objects (Unless you are needing basic shapes or teapots) is with a seperate 3D package. Create then there and save as DirectX file format that your program can load in as a mesh.

    Persoanlly I use Caligari's TrueSpace for my 3D object needs. It's pretty cool and FREE (www.caligari.com)
