Tom do you know if their new engine is using MDX? Also just to nitpick for fun it is spelled Kiois Works, you added an extra 'o'.

Affirmative!

It's using MDX from June 2k5 on .Net 1.1.

Just a question

Just a question,

I'm using managed directx and I like the API, but I have a concern about all the functions that use things like Vector3, Matrix and Plane (all of which are a ValueType). When passing these into functions such as Multiply and Normal and Dot, etc. A copy has to be made (because of the value type) as I pass them as parameters.

Would performance be better if these were passed as constant references rather than making a copy of the value type every call? That way you pass in an alias to the value type that cannot be modified. Maybe I am missing something with this.

Like in C++:

void DoStuff(const Vector3& vect)
{
...
}

Thanks for the hard work!
