I've been working with DirectX for a while now, dealing only with 2D.
So far I've read "Beginning Game Programming, Second edition"(Concentrates more on game programming then teaching DX, though it does a pretty good job in both).
Are there any 3D DirectX books you would recommand?
maybe a general, advanced DirectX book?

Re: A DirectX book
Wow, posting a DirectX topic in a forum full of SDL guys :lo:, probably not the best place but what the heck.

Re: A DirectX book
Perhaps the topic should be "looking for directx book suggestions" since the topic "a directx book" reads like you found one and are announcing it. And I don't know of any DirectX books I could suggest to you, sorry. Nothing in Guides & Resources thread, I assume?
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
