Direct 3D Tutorials

Here you can find the Direct3D tutorials that I have been working on. These Direct3D tutorials cover the more basic functions of Direct 3D but will become more advanced as I learn more. I have tried to get these Direct3D tutorials to do what is done in the OpenGL tutorials so that people can see how each does a different task.

I have added a page with the Direct3D header, library and dll files needed to compile and run a Direct3D application. The Direct3D drivers should already be available if you have Direct X installed, and if you have the Direct X SDK, then you will already have the header and library files. But if for some reason you cannot access them. I have the bare essentials here, straight from the Direct X SDK which can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
