Just out of curiosity, why cant' you use OpenGL or DirectX? The whole point of libraries is so you don't have to go creating your very own.

I guess it would teach him some of the fundamental concepts of 3D graphics programming; but to do anything decent you would have to use something like DirectX or OpenGL.

What's the GDI?
Also were I will find a manual that has all the commands (of VB) so I can play with a matrix?

Malekos

I forgot, matrix is an "array" of pixels, right?

Polyphemus_

No, a matrix is a rectangular table of numbers.

Please use google for these things.

Malekos

I heve already tried these things. Nothing found about how to create something like this. I just want to know how and wiht what I am going to "play" with pixels.
Any ideas?

Benoit

If you want to play with the pixels then use OpenGL, Direct3D, SDL, etc

OpenGL and DirectX are already existing librarys.

Malekos.. use google.. start basic. You aren't going to be rendering 3d models or anything without doing some work on your own. Google for "matrix" or "matrix graphic programming" for more relevant information. Your questions are broad, easily found using google, and show a lack of effort that suggests you will not be able to put in the work necessary to create even a basic 3d library.

Dude, you have to know how a whole graphics library works before you can actually write one. It's hard enough to use OpenGl and directX as it is. what your trying to do is build a car when you don't even know how to drive one. It took teams of people to develop OpenGl and DX libraries. I'm know you just want to keep it simple and make a small matrix, but even at that, you should know where to start, but you don't. If your doing VB, consider this: Can you use all the basic controls easily? Can you load up other components and use them? Can you use references? and can you create your own controls? If there is somethign on that list that you don't know how to do, perhpas you should try it instead of a matrix.
