    I guess you mean spinning in three dimensions...

    If you want light effects, textures and so the best way is to use DirectX, but I know too little about DX to help you with this. Other guys here know more.

    But if you want to do the hole thing buy youself, you must give an x,y, and z value to all points in the triangle/cube...
    Then you simply use a couple of rotation algorithms to spin your object´s points in any way you like. I can post theese if u like, gotta look them up first
    To make it look nice you must also use some kind of projection, check my post "Projection" in the Math forum, there´s some nice answers
    API call "Polygon" or "PolyPolygon" might be useful for the drawing.

    I saw a tutorial on making a 3D triangle spin here:

    Look for the D3D tutorial

    Call me lazy, but if anyone has any good coding for a three-dimensional object, and the manipulation of it's rotation, movement, etc... could you send it to me?

    Thanx...

    If you want to get into 3D graphics, i would recommend
    DirectX. Once you get the hang of it, it is extremely
    simple to work with. Go to

    Zaei: Look at your site, it's the same I pointed him
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    To learn how to use realistic effects in your games like fire, rain, snow and magic effects, read my article on particles systems here.
