Trapstate Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 As long as we're talking about midi and video:I've been experimenting a while now with video and MIDI. Up to now mostly with hardware, but I want to *generate* more sophisticated video from MIDI as well. I've been looking for a good environment to do simple 3d graphics. I guess it will come down to some hardcore OpenGL programming, or not? Does anybopdy know a good environment? Any tips or links for tutorials?thnxTrap.
