Good luck,
Matt

As per your request, here is a quick demo of using DirectX in Notepad:

Simply download, open a Notepad Window, and Run.

Sure you can create 3D models by simply typing the vertice and polygon information in Notepad. I've done that like 5 years ago too. You need to use a predefined format (like DirectX .x files) or define your own format (which is what I did).

Although it is definately possible, I do not recomment it. Creating a simple room and typing the values by hand already takes a considerable amount of time. Using a (free) 3D editor takes much less time. If you want to use your own fileformat, write a convertor to convert files generated by 3D editors.

Use the free 3D modeller DeleD to get skilled in 3d editing! Visit http://www.delgine.com for more info.
