A really easy and detailed program to introduce you to Direct3D, in the sample you control a 3D ship. The code is heavily documented and simplified, if you're new to direct3D it's a real reccomendation.
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

I use 3d Studio Max to make my 3D models, to convert the .3ds to an X file, you can use numerous third party tools such as those available from www.okino.com, however if you have the DirectX SDK, you will have a utility in your DXUtils directory called Conv3DS.exe. To convert you model and animations simply type: Conv3DS man.3ds -A at the command line to generate a .x file! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Thanks 4 this! I haven't got a 3D modeller though. That's the only reason why I've not tried to learn D3DRM. But thanks to you I might start now! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I just mailed you a couple of minutes ago(before I discovered this) I just wonder if it's possible do download the DirectX SDK? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great job. To zoom in on the ship, add this to the DX_Input sub:
If DI_State(DIK_DOWN) <> 0 Then FRCam.SetPosition FRCam, 0, 0, 1 End If (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
