3d Graphics Library Creating

Hi all!
I'm new in this forum.
Can anyone help me on this:
How can I create a 3d graphics library (something like OpenGL or DirectX)?
Not so advanced as OpenGL or DirectX...
I thing that to create a graphics library I just need to "play" with pixels and a "matrix" (not the movie)? Am i right?

Why not just use DirectX or OpenGL? Making your own would be very, very difficult.

I know that. If I wanted to use DirectX or OpenGL, I would have already did it.
I want t make my own 3d graphics library. But how...?

Do you know C++? VB would not be a good language to do a 3D graphics library in.

I thing that all I need is to "play" with a matrix. I 've heard that you can create a pixel matrix with VB. Is that true?

look into using directx or opengl before trying to create one. A matrix is a math structure you use to store vectors. It is used to perform basic calculations regarding moving 3d objects. You need to brush up a lot more on basics before you could attempt a library.

VB.net and GDI. that will allow you to do basic graphics, and if you have a lot of math skills you can start making a simple 3D library. So read up on using GDI in VB.net, that should get you started.
