Hello, I was wondering if 3d Studio Max works with GDI or it has its own screen drivers... ? ''Cause it''s damn fast and GDI SUCKS! Thanks

if u mean the windows GDI functions things like plotpixel??,drawline?? (haven''t used it 4 a while) no u can choose its own software driver (HEIDI), opengl or d3d

yeah
Windows GDI...

I asked if 3d studio uses Win GDI or anything else?

btw-is there a faster way to plot pixels than Win GDI
WITHOUT all these dd or ogl or glide....

just regular buffers..

of course 3dsmax uses GDI to draw windows and stuff, while the triangle renderings is done by either GL, D3D or HEIDI.
But HEIDI is not necesarily a software renderer... It can also be hardware (I had a HEIDI driver for one of my old gfx cards)
BUT I think that software HEIDI simply falls back to the GDI...


bye
