Hi. I was thinking about using one of those graphics engines for programming.

Basically what I am is, a college student that it's homework pile never gets smaller and smaller. And no it's not computer related. I have some programming experience.

So someone can point me out any 3D graphics or game engines that uses any .NET programming languages. I took a look at realmforge and irrlicht but they seem too lack a lot documentation and example programmings referring to .NET related programming languages compared to C++.

Especially forVB.NET.

I havent looked at it myself but I've heard of "Purple#". You may want to check that out. Other then that the most mentioned C# based 3D engine would be Axiom. It's based on the Ogre 3D engine, which is written in C++ so theoretically, it should be pretty decent.

Well I don't own Visual Studio 2003 or something like that but I do have the .NET framework and I currently work with SharpDevelop.

Purple# is a pretty good engine if I can get it to run in #Develop.

Try out Axiom aswell, it has nice physics and all that jazz and is supposed to be quite solid.

Yeah Axiom is also nice. But.. I can't seem to find the documentation nor the examples provided with the engines. Or thereof lack of it.

Which is indeed is where I learn best is from examples.

One last note, where can I find a game engine that supports these following programming languages: Lua, Pascal/Delphi related languages.

The FarCry engine has Lua scripting. I don't know a huge amount more, but try using the 3D Engine database on this site to search.
