XNA 3d/ Xbox

[Lone Contagion]

First off, i am aware of Zune's Hd capabilities and that we can code 3d for xbox, is it possible for zune hd now to do 3d coding? And if so is there a way to easily make my real simple 3d game for xbox into zune, i know it has the capabilities. (yes don't try and bash me for saying easy, i mean easy as in writing to code over into zune instead of writing the entire fricken thing over. For example, changing certain lines to match zune properties, which only a few lines would be saveable i bet, i just wouldnt know how to well, im confused with the zune coding, its different from what im use to.)

thanks.

3D in XNA is not yet available for the Zune HD.

Yes 3D is not possible on the zune HD. Please do not worry about it. Stick to 2D.

Well i know its possible. The difference is being able to code an actual game out of it. I know enough, i was just wondering about XNA since i never used it before. Thank You though.

Yes, the Zune HD has 3D Support. XNA supports Vector3 for the z-axis. The problem is optimizing a 3D game to run on the Zune HD.

OMG, it is this simple:

The zune has the hardware to draw in 3D.
The XNA framework does not have any 3D API's available for drawing in the zune.
Users can create their own API which will be software based, which means it would be very slow and inefficient no matter how much you optimize it.

Unless you know a whole hell of a lot about programming games, no you can not make 3D games on the zune without a sizable amount of difficulty and/or unplayability.
