I see several people are requesting the source. if you're just looking for more C#/DX examples, then I suppose a shameless plug for my site is in order.

I've been doing a lot of Managed Direct3D coding lately and I have several demos with source on my website. I put them there for others to learn from, so have at it!

You bet Michael, post it!

There are relatively few good MDX books out there; David Weller's is good but seeing more working code would be nice.

I would be willing to help you with some samples Mike, I really like 3d. I still need to complete my 3d engine one of these days but it is fun none the less. A couple of good books on the subject I have is

Introduction to 3D Game Engine Design Using DirectX 9 and C#
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=156

And

Beginning .NET Game Programming in C#
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=324

I recomend the second one if your just getting into it. The first one there is no buffer, First chapter in the first one you start building a class with your world origins and so on. The second one walks you through some rather simple stuff like building a Tetris game in .net with Excellent inheritance designs and so on understanding what the world coordinates are and clipping plains and so on.

Anyway we can discuss it at the meeting next week if you want.

I think it would be nice to see your sample Michael, I downloaded the Managed DirectX SDK recently, but haven't had a chance to play around with it yet.

I haven't posted it anywhere, Patrice. Frankly, I hadn't even considered it, since it's mostly just a learning project for me. Perhaps I'll post it here when it's far enough along to make sense. Is anyone else interested?
