I'm just starting out with BMax. What 3D engines/userlibs work with BMax? Any of them DX9 compatable?

ColdSteel works perfectly with BlitzMax, and uses both OpenGL and DX9

LeadWerks engine. Currently OGL only, but I think there may be DX plans in the pipeline.

3impact - http://www.3impact.com TrueVision3D - http://www.truevision3d.com MiniB3d - See the minib3d section of the bb forums. The wrapper that allows 3impact to work with BlitzMax can be found here. http://www.gprogs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=219 The wrapper needed to get Truevision3d working with BlitzMax can be found here. http://www.glimmergames.com

Irrlicht, TrueVision3D, 3Impact and Dreamotion are all DX9. Since Dreamotion is the only one not linked to so far, it's here : http://www.dreamotion3d.com/news.php I don't have experience with anythiing apart from TV3D and a little 3DImpact back when it was DX8. So don't take that as any kind of recommendation, because I haven't used it.

Sure it is, but it is DX7 not DX9 so not nearly current generation. If you want to use Blitz3D, its simpler and faster (performance wise) to use Blitz3D.
