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

    You could also use OpenGL.

    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).

    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. ;-)

    Regards,
    ChuckB
