Hi everyone,

How would I go about showing a 3D cube in 3D space on C++? I understand I need Direct X SDK installed - Which I already have.

Saying that with everything you need to include a header file, I've added the Windows.h file and the D3d10.h file (Direct X 10).

This is my code so far, yes, I know there's nothing there but I just want a little bit of help on where and what to put.

My filename is main.cpp

#include <Windows.h>
#include <d3d10.h>

int main(){





}

Can someone help me? Thanks!


EDIT : I'm using VS C++ 2010

This looks promesing. Haven't checked out everything but I think you'll get basics there.

Thanks Flying Dutchman,

I also found another tutorial using OpenGL - some people may find that useful!

I assumes you wanted only DirectX. Here, here and here are OpenGL tutorials that you might wanna check out. I'd recommend you though that you use SFML (C++) or SDL ( C ) librarys which do most of window creation and input work for you.

IMHO, programming with OpenGL is easier than with DirectX... but that's a matter of attitude.
If you want to learn OpenGL, take a look at this: Link (Flying Dutchman's links are better though)

Anyway, start with 2D applications, its better for beginners.

OpenGl's GLUT library is really simple and u haven't to know anything from WIN API...
