3D without directx

hey!

I wanna do a basic 3d rederer without using directx!
Is that possible with vb?

Sure, but it will be slow. Check out the book Visual Basic Graphics Programming for pure VB graphics programming.

You could also use OpenGL.

Cant i just get some tips here on how to do it?

Its too involved. IE, nearly half the above book.

oh....
I just want to do a box that's possible to move around, or something simple like that

If you just want something simple, do a forum search. You might be able to find something (this same topic was posted a ways back).

ok

cant search for 3d....the word is too short

Here are a couple of tips for rendering a 2D triangle in VB.

'can be rendered using VB graphics
'add this to form1 load event...turn AutoDraw property to true
Form1.Line (2000, 100)-(3000, 3000)
Form1.Line (2000, 100)-(1000, 3000)
Form1.Line (1000, 3000)-(3000, 3000)

'can be rendered with OpenGL this way.
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES)
glVertex2d(2000,100)
glVertex2d(1000,3000)
glVertex2d(3000,3000)
glEnd

Are these the kind of tips you're looking for? Apart from pirating someone elses software I am not sure there is an easy solution to this...except laboring over tutorials, forums, books and sample source code...saying good bye to the outside world and family, etc. ;-)
