Dont think you are trapped by sticking with DirectX 6
I started to learn 3D programming around DirectX 7 and liked the seperate Retained (helper) Mode (in VB) and the full on IM mode but then DirectX 8 came out and I switched and had to re-write a lot of code just to get it to work (as Direct Draw and Direct3D merged to DirectGraphics).
Then DirectX 8a emerged with a patch for mesh problems so I converted and that took a while.
Then DirectX 8.1 was released with better samples and faster fps and you guessed it i converted.
Now I am trying to ignore the threat of DirectX 9 and I will stick with DirectX 8.1. If it aint broke dont fix it.
I would be so happy to get to the quality of your fish but I am still building the base because I stuffed around with DirectX 7, 8, 8a, and 8.1
( What kind of problems did you have when trying to convert to DirectX 8? )
