Ah ... my favorite sites!!!

Here are the chosen few that made it in.


Lucky's VB Gaming Site

The best DirectX7 for Visual Basic game programming site on the net!  The Direct Draw tutorials are thorough, easy to understand, and they all include source.  Also, Lucky has a very active Forum which I recommend checking out.  Your question will always be answered there.


 

A full-featured raytracer...  shadow, phong, fog, crand, specular, reflection, and spotlight effects, just to begin.  Oh .. and it's free! =)  Remember though, this is mostly just a rendering engine.  Download the Moray Modeler and install it after you've installed POV-Ray.  It is so much easier to use than POV-Ray's built-in text editor.


 

Currently the homepage of my favorite modeler for POV Ray.  Includes an easy to use 3D coordinate system and supports all the effects available in POV Ray.  Don't forget to also download a few of the extra plug-in's while you're there.  I especially like the animation plug-in.


VB-Flux

Haven't really had time to check out the site.  I've been too busy playing the awesome game he designed.  Free downloads at his site for everyone!  I'll pick up the tab.


MSN Hotmail

An awesome free email site.  If you don't like checking your email in a browser, use Microsoft Outlook!


Tripod Free WebPages

50MB Storage, FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, CGI!!!  Choose between a pop-up or page header banner.


QTD

Another Visual Basic Site.  I'll write more about this site as I check it out some more.  So far, it doesn't look half bad!  Looks like he does his own 3D Rendering as well!


Jedi Kitten's Page

A R.L. friend of mine's web page.  A little of this.. a little of that.  Hopefully I'll get to  help her on her next one!
