Hey guys, i want to know if you guys have some tutorials about 3D DirectX or DarkGDK.

I will begin making a FPS with the worst GFX you ever seen!

What do you recommend: DirectX (Raw) or DarkGDK or OpenGL?

Whats easier, quicker and stuff xD


Thanks a lot community!

If you already have the basics of DBP then GDK is just the same with differences. I don't have much code on my site as of yet but http://dbcodecorner.com/index.php?page=resources has a lot of references. DirectX programming isn't like GDK or DBP and needs a bit of learning to use it. GDK/DBP would be a better.

GDK is basically a wrapper for Direct X and saves a hell of a lot of work. You may as well start with using GDK and when it comes to crunch times then go in depth with Direct X. The forums do have a number of examples where others have added things using Direct X.

well, if you know a bit about c++ / moreSo c#, then have a look at SlimDX - its a compressed version of directX 9,10, and 11 wrapped for c#. I believe games such as the newest star wars used it, faster than XNA, but windows only. Its much simpler than the plain DirectX as alot of windows based stuff is handled for you, as well as general use (: and hell fast (:

sorry, but not too sure about tutorials on it, just have to have a good look (:
