Guest Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2003 2:31 pm    Post subject: Suggestion on 3D software: where to start? Hello, I must write an application that display a 3D render of a room (very simple, floor, roof, walls with textures, and nothing else) It would be nice to let the user change the point of view and move inside the room (like in a 3D game) but is not necessary. I'm not into 3D graphics but it should be quite easy to realize. What I ask you is: which technology should I choose and where should I start? Should I use DirectX? OpenGL? other (suggestions are welcome)? The software will be widely distributed, and will have to run on win98 and up, so I really need not to have trouble with missing opengl or directx drivers. Thanks! Back to top Bruce Salzman Guest Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2003 2:38 pm    Post subject: Re: Suggestion on 3D software: where to start? Quote: Should I use DirectX?

Use OpenGL, then. Windows supports it out of the box, without installing anything extra. Look at http://nehe.gamedev.net/ http://www.opengl.org/ Regards, Bruce Back to top Ron Sawyer Guest Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2003 9:36 pm    Post subject: Re: Suggestion on 3D software: where to start? Aztica (was Eldermage) makes a nice VCL component called 6dx. I used their old 4dx and had a lot of luck with it. http://www.aztica.com/modules/news/ [email]m.durliNOSPAM (AT) bo (DOT) nettuno.it[/email] wrote: Quote: Hello, I must write an application that display a 3D render of a room (very simple, floor, roof, walls with textures, and nothing else) It would be nice to let the user change the point of view and move inside the room (like in a 3D game) but is not necessary.
