I need help with Direct3D

A book that I have found that answered alot of my D3D questions was Windows Game Programming For Dummies. You may want to pick it up.

As i remember, here is some examples, including bare bones (maybe) http://www.darwin3d.com/gamedev.htm
or here http://www.gdmag.com/

Yes, I stand corrected. It does not cover Direct3D specifically. However, it was very helpful to me to learn how to set up the whole windows environment in preparation. It answered alot of questions (fundamentals) I had. The Awesome Power of Direct3D/DirectX, although only version 5.0, was good. The code got confusing at times, but overall it was a help. DX7.0 books are due out in a couple months.

Yeah, the source is crap ! You need much time, but after a while and you stepped throught their notation (a mix between hungarian and something else), it isn't that hard. For creating textures, why not look into the D3D_Textr.cpp, it's a bit hard to understand, but working through the whole code (and understanding it) helps much.

I agree with you, the SDK examples suck. I finally got tired of their examples and all the other ones on the net that dont work and have started compiling my own examples as I learn it.

I finally got some basic primitives working on the screen and am in the process of "cleaning" the code that has been thrown together.

I will give you an email when I have something "presentable."
