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)
