[VB6] Direct3D9.

[xman2000]

Hi, Elroy,

yes, i like "Do you want to do all the DirectX3D graphics functions in VB6 code? If so, that's sort of insane"

not problem if is more slow, only if works very well.

"Now, if you want the TypeLib out of the picture"
i not understand "out of the picture" but i like the TypeLib in pure vb6 inside the project like a module .bas, or class or .frm but i need not use files.

in some times i use external files, .dll, .ocx, but other times i like use only vb6 code and others with apis.

i understand you speak this Libarry is to DirectX interaction, i I had imagined that something like this already existed, and that this library was a little (little and simple) substitute for Directx and people can add more features.

"you're not interfacing directly with the GPU"
yes, we can make a 3D Library replacement of Directx more simple with not GPU and other version of the 3D library with GPU.

What would we need to do to create a GPU version?
there would be a need to create compatibility for the drivers of each VGA GPU device of each company?
eu can stop this subject not to flood this thread.

not problem if is more slow, only if works very well and not uses external files or external ressources, the most compatible and universal is better for some uses.

like this idea: have a 3D libray in pure VB6 i can put all code inside the vb project an re-use all functions and rebuild the big library into small libraries to especific purposes and can padronize the codes i use in image processing, and can add more features, more algorithms like scientific and image vision, medical, etc.

edit:it is not always necessary that the performance be very fast as for games at 60fps, it can be slow if it is only to visualize an object or a scenario observing the details, but perhaps to edit objects and see the changes in a reasonable speed a non- GPU library I do not know if it will.


edit2: but if we can but use the GPU but with everything written in VB6 with total replacement of Directx or OpenGL would be very good, even if it is a little slower than them.

This 3D9 library by TheTrick is greate and is specific to DirectX, greate!
I was not sure if it was this or a replacement. Now i know.
