You wont be able to do it as good in vb as vb isnt compiled its a tokenised language which means that the OS has to interpret each line of code as it executes it thus slowing it down. Most plugins are written in Java, C/C++/ or Delphi which arent tokenised they are compiled. VB just hasnt got the speed for graphics like that (altho its still possible to write a plugin in vb)
