Well Ive been doin some VB again :) This time Im working on a 3d model maker. Its the hardest thing Ive done so far and Im using DirectX (because I didnt like OpenGL). I have a layout so far and the windows setup for editing.

Thats what it looks like so far.

The left side will have tools(etc) Any comments or suggestions of what I should put into it?

Definately looks interesting. What formats are you going to export to/save to? Anyway, a tools list would include some basic shapes, of course (Rectangular Prism, Sphere, Pyramid, etc.).
I dunno about special features, a lot of modeling programs already have most of the ones that are useful, so look to those, I suppose. I might use this for my game modeling, should it work well. Oh, so depending on the intended purpose, it'll probably need some UV mapping tools.

Anyway, good luck, and I'd love to hear updates as they come.

Well, i had to uninstall Visual Studio the other day, because i had some problems with it and so I have to reinstall it. But I still have my project. This may will take a while, jut because this is something more advanced for me. And plus school is starting in like 2 days :( But I hope that I can actually go somewhere on this. :)

If Visual Basic doesnt work out, I could always use Dark Basic to make it... >.<

Exporting, umm no idea yet, but def. direct X of the top of my head. Because my game engine uses .x files.


If and when I get somewhere, Ill be sure to tell you, because: this may be to hard for me yet.
