Hello everyone,

I want to create an application where I can display a structure of
pipes in 3D.
What API should I use? OpenGL, Direct3D or something elese?

It should be a simple API.

You should use .Net 3.0 and the Windows Presentation Foundation.

That's the current generation technology designed for exactly what you
describe.
 
Thanks for the info.

I guess I give .Net 3.0 a try. I should get to know this anyway.

To design 3D graphics, give a try to Zam 3D, which is avbailable in CTP
for the moment. It's a great 3D editor IMHO and it saves in XAML format
directly.

Otherwise, you have the Expression tools by Microsoft, but I don't have
much experience.

There are also free export modules available for Adobe Illustrator
(maybe not the bext for 3D though).

HTH,
Laurent
