3D Graphics demo and a thank you.
Hi all.
Firstly a bit of self promotion and some flag waving for doing graphics in Vb.net.
Below is a link to a youtube video of a project I have been working on for about a year, off and on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUZfOZ31Nus
If you didn't click its a 3d model viewer written entirely in visual Basic, no Opengl etc.
As this is a software renderer it is hard to give performance numbers other than for my own machine which is using a Ryzen 3600 running @ 3.8ghz
So. A 150k triangle model draws at around 55-60 fps with back face culling on and wireframe off.
Finally a thank you to boops boops who's posts regarding his creation fastpix gave me hope long ago when I was banging my head on GDI drawing. Trying to make it go faster. I never did use fastpix but knowing it could be done and how, lead eventually to the above.

I would just like to add that this code is not well structured. I started out on this with no idea how to do 3d graphics. It is a product of me learning how to do this as I went along and adapting what I had codewise to fit.

hmm is there a vs2010 version

Sorry no. It requires .Net 4.6 minimum to support system.numerics (.net 5 or newer is much faster)
You can download Visual studio 2022 for free on the ms website.

You are doing all of this on the CPU? If so, does it cause any overheating?

Not as long as you have a CPU fan attached. :)
Its multithreaded. So the more cores thrown at it the better, but it will still make the processor work very hard with more complex models while moving/rotating them etc.
The model in the Video I linked is not very demanding as there is only around 20k polygons in it. This sort of thing will cause the cpu to get a little more toastie :)Attachment 184880

I am impressed. I read over the code in your github repo (here), it is a bit difficult to follow, but you make it obvious up front that "this is not an example of great coding technique."
Since this is more of a contribution than that question thread I am going to move this to the codebank.
Re: 3D Graphics demo and a thank you.
i cant install, but i buy i newer pc Windows 10 with HDD but i make it Windows 7 with SSD i dont know it supports
Re: 3D Graphics demo and a thank you.
You should be able to get it working on Win7 but you will still need a newer version of Vis studio that will support .net 4.6-4.8
.net5 brought a large bump in performance and this code benefits greatly from it.

Thanks for the comments.
Re: 3D Graphics demo and a thank you.
i think 2022s installation never end
