The forum is locked. These are the original blitzbasic.com forums, kept so they can still be read. No new topics, replies or edits can be made here. To join in, head over to the Blitz3D+ forums.

Your right, the purpose of blitz languages is to have a higher level set of commands to make things easier and faster, however it is still useful also if you want to use direct opengl "easily" (ok, you might use something such as SDL or allegroGL or GLUT, still I like Max better)

Personally I'm not interested in 3D, I feel there is so much you can create in 2D that has not been explored. But if you want to do 3D fast, I agree, MAX3D is a must, or you might as well go for SDL.
