Creating an Interactive 3D world with C# and DirectX

8. Render Everything on the Screen

Here you go!

//Clear the Screen
TV.Clear(false);
//Enable the RenderAllMeshes property true
TVScene.RenderAllMeshes(true);
// Then, we display everything that we have rendered
// (from the objects of the world) to the screen.
TV.RenderToScreen();

I hope this tutorial has made you think about making a new 3D game of your own. Look how easy it is to develop a full-fledged 3D application in .NET.
