        Bagstoper,

        Do you really need a 3D engine for that? I believe that that game you reference is just using 2D graphics. And I don't think that you really want the overhead of 3D for something that can be handled with 2D. Just a question.

        One 3D engine I have used is 3D State (I believe it is free, or it was when I used it)

            "3D State" it may show as "3D Development Studio " if uou search Google for "vb 3d engine free". It is an engine for rendering 3D environments.

            Truevision 3D and Revolution 3D are two mroe 3D engines that I've used in VB6.

              Are you talking about game programming here? If so, why not use Blitz Basic? It is really fun and easy. http://www.blitzbasic.com/

                I have a sample VB program somewhere, which shows a (pseudo) 3D cube spinning around, and lets you choose things like wireframe or solid shading. It does it in VB (probably with some API calls) without using any third-party packages at all. If I can find it, I'll try to post some or all of it.

                (I think it was actually written in either VB version 3, or 5. Oh, and I didn't write it.)
