Hi guys, i'm a beginner and I wanted to know the programs that are based on directX and can run on directX cards like a geforce...

and which ones are openGL based and require a quadro card for good performance?

Thanks!

At the moment you can run almost all openGL 3D programs with GeForce.
Regarding programs that use directX, I know only of 3dsmax.

I think Truespace is based on DirectX.

Ricky do you have any experience with Truespace? How is it in comparison to 3ds max? Is it good for animation and special effects?

3d max uses DirectX and OpenGL

That was an interesting question, I myself wanted to know the answer too. Smile

I also want to know the list of animation programs that runs with these specifications Smile
