does this use Dx9 or 7.
BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/does this use Dx9 or 7.

| quick question, since this is a max mod I was wondering what the render engine is, is it DX7 like B3D or is it DX9 or GL ? Not that it really matters all that much, just with all the recent talk of B3D starting to have issues on Win 7 Machines I thought I would find out, i have a few B3D projects still to finish so considering porting them all over to Max & MiniB3D as long as its not going to have the same windows 7 issues. |

| IIRC MiniB3D uses OpenGL |

| - It uses OpenGL. - It works with MaxGUI (you can have a MaxGUI app with a Canvas gadget displaying 3D graphics). - It works with Win7 if the system's hardware supports OpenGL at all. - It's quite, quite close to how Blitz3D behaviors but you will find differences. Stick to the official releases\patched-versions if you want it working out-of-the-box. |

| OpenGL 1.5 or 1.6 I thing to be exact... OpenGL base is why it works cross platform. Iminib3d branch is OpenGL ES 1.1 FYI if looking at further platforms as well. |

| I dont have monkey so wont be building anything for mac or linux for that matter, so I only need to cover PC at the moment, I will worry about other platforms ocne I have a working product. Thanks for the info guys.. |

| FYI, Bmax is cross platform, nothing to do with Monkey... |
