Hey, this thing's starting to look like a modeller

[PvK]

Sorry, I'm a .NOT person, too.

Edit: Actually, I could try it out at work...

[Nodachi]

I was willing to give it a go Ed. However I'm getting an error right off the start. I have the .net framework installed but it may not be up to date. Once I check on that I'll get back to you. Also, what Version of directx are you using, that might cause some problems.

[Combat Wombat]

I get this when I start it up, I have the .NET stuff I believe

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

[Nodachi]

I checked everything out and I'm up to date. I'm getting the same error as CW.

[Ed Kolis]

Well it sounds like you guys either don't have DirectX installed, or you have an old Version... do you have Version 9.0c (the Summer 2004 update Version)?
Sorry for all your trouble just to see some spinning teapots! Hopefully I'll have more features soon...

[Ed Kolis]

Aha!
I found the problem!
When you install DirectX, you have to use the command-line option /InstallManagedDX on the installer! Otherwise Microsoft assumes you're not interested in running .NET DirectX applications and doesn't install support for them
BTW, when I say the installer, I mean the dxsetup.exe that you get after extracting the initial self-extracting archive.
Try downloading the program again, too... now you can move the most recently created shape around by using the Translate menu options... currently Screen coordinates are not implemented, though, and Local and World do the same thing since I haven't added object rotation (just camera orbiting)...
