Yeah, honestly, there are so many things that can be improved upon... why not just make blitz3d a 2.0 and charge for the upgrade... makes a lot more sense than making everyone learn a new language to use a new system. Since the days of dx7 a lot can be done hardware-wise, that would be less strain on the processor if in the system natively. Granted you all have good points... I mean, why care about how something looks if you are never going to finish it... thing is though, if someone continues to work on a project and the platform they are developing on is in constant upgrade, new features can be added easily. Would any of the features of dx10 help me right now? No... but would then make my current project look nice and opperate faster when its finished in 6 months from now... yes, will I be porting to max3d by then... perhaps... haha.
