Hi all, I''m writing an isometric engine with d3d8 but all tutorials i found are about dx7. Is here someone who knows a tutorial(or source code) for isometric engines (or just a usual tile engine) with dx8? thx, Freaker13

It depends on how you want to you your isometric engine in DirectX 8. Are you going to use Direct3D 8 as "real 3D", eg. to initialize a normal 3D landscape and then to set the camera to look isometric? Or are you going to use D3D8 to create a "2D" engine with enhanced futures (rotation etc.), which you then can use to derive into normal isometric programming? If you prefer to use the second method this article is what I recommend (I made my own 2D engine with it):
