Any particular reason you''re using 5?

Prior to DX7 retained mode is the only practical part of D3D you could use. Well, 6 was mildly better.

There are sources out there but it''d be better to save the headache and move to 7 or 8.

Well the reason I''m using DX5 is because it came with Visual C++ and Microsoft doesn''t do CD orders anymore. With a 45 meg download it will almost surely be corrupted. Until I get DSL or cable I''ll be stuck with version 5.

Hmmm.. This might be a case where it''s worthwhile to buy a book that includes the DX8 SDK on CD. Or get the SDK *somehow*.

Any learning you do now is almost completely worthless when you move the DX8+. The basic concepts hold true, but the API has changed ALOT.

Thank You!!!!!!
