DX 3d Question
Does Directx render everything in view or everything its told (by code). Like if you have and entire level in memory and place a 'camera' in the center looking across the plane in one direction will it render just the screen or everything, including stuff not seen by the user?

Some hardware filters out things that are not seen, but not DX.

well there is a way to do that in DX8. It something like SphereVisibility or some similar name.
It will tell you if an object is visible or not.

You still have to manually decide whether or not to draw. Its not an automatic thing done by the T&L engine.
