Which do you think is better for 2d and 3d graphics? Any reasons why? flucknugget

flucknugget, you're better off finding out for yourself. You won't get any real answers here, as many take one side or the other and some even straddle the fence. You'll most likely walk away even more confused and unsure. Most of the people will tell you it's half-personal decision (aesthetic), and half technical. Check out some of the DX and OGL articles here and stop by a bookstore to skim through both kinds of books. Dip a bit into both before you decide for yourself which one you prefer over the other. More than likely your reasons will differ from just about everyone else's which is why a lot of people don't even bother answering these types of questions. But this is a newbie forum after all, so I'll be nice Good luck.
