    Almost anything 3D you attempt to code in VB will be to slow. Most of the demos I have seen (From VBGP) were, at most, flat shaded cubes, spheres, etc, with very few objects in the scene. Anything like WorldCraft will have you crying.

    The PictureBox in VB is a thin wrapper around API calls. You can make this faster by using straight API, such as MoveToEx(), LineTo(), SetPixelV(), GetPixel(), etc, but that is about as fast as it gets.
