you definately need a bigger room for the car though :P

Nice looks !!!
Have you used tv3d 6.5 beta, or wrapped newton in 6.2 somehow ?

But you must have used vc6 then ? Cause I cant get TV to work with .net ?
I think the tv3d looks like a promising way to go when they are finiched with the 6.5 !

Hello, one of our user found a way to make tv6.2 work with VC.NET !

http://www.truevision3d.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8045

Maybe that could help, kjelle69.

Yes it worked ! Some strange errors, and one of the tutorials not working tough. The Brass teapot is out of this world realistic ! Nice framreates too !

Someone who knows what language the v6.5 is focusing on mostly ? VB or VC ?

As far as i know you will be able to achive same results using one of the supporting languages : VB6,Delphi,BCB,VC++(probably MinGW with DevC++) via ATL/COM ,all .NET languages via managed library and VC6-VC7 via native static *.lib
But i guess the best choice is to use VC++ since your application will not need a dll and probably will run a bit faster due to absence of the COM(managed library) layer.
