If you're willing to try, you could install the TV3D SDK (6.5 Full
Setup) 'from here' (http://www.truevision3d.com/downloads.php) and see
if the demos work. At least then we'd know if its my code or not!

I chose the TrueVision3D library because it's one of the more stable
out there, but the truth is we're in the realm of 3D accelerated
graphics, which means drivers and the like come into play. I can't
disagree with you that these debugging posts are moving the topic away
from the visualisation discussion. On hindsight, I may have been better
off posting mock-ups but I wanted a little wow-factor to get people
motivated. The best laid plans...

I originally thought about Silverlight - in fact I started building on
it, however 3D in Silverlight is still quite immature and slow (and
doesn't use hardware acceleration) and I wanted to use 3D in the PoC to
get people thinking if the extra dimension gives the interface
another... erm... dimension. I'm not saying a 10ft UI for SC7 -has- to
be 3D, but the point of a PoC is to find the boundaries.

Thanks for your candid opinions, I'm sorry you haven't been able to get
it working yet.
