The D3DXMatrixLookAt() and D3DXMatrixLookAtLH() is flawed. When using these the top row in the matrix have the wrong sign. I haven''t notice any other functions that have bugs though.

At present time I don''t think the library optimizes for 3DNow, MMX, and/or KNI, but in the next iteration of DX the library just might do so.

It could just be my code, but it seems to me that D3DX''s initialization functions are extremely buggy. I know that using D3DX, my app had trouble on a ton of systems, whereas with just straight D3DIM code, it worked fine.

Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant and she fell on me? Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.

It hasn''t caused much trouble for me, but if I was programming a major game, I''d use pure D3DIM to initialize.

As for the D3DXMatrixLookAt() functions, I noticed they were acting a little funny too. (And what''s the idea of making right-handed operations the standard? Stupid MS...)

Probably someone in-house who spends all their spare time using OpenGL =) It wouldn''t surprise me hehe.
