C Sharp 3D Graphics

Are there 3d Games being built with C#?

I see several 3d Engines and a rework of OpenGL out there
but wonder if anyone is actually commercially developing games with
C# and OpenGL

Am new to C# comming from a C++ background -
am using Visual C# Programmer's Guide (excellent book).

Looked at DirectX - powerful but what a mess.

Thanks

It runs on the CLR but is actually written in C++.

There's a nice interview about it with the C++ Project Manager on channel9.

Try the Tom Miller book to get you started on managed game dev:

Thanks, I guess I will try the Miller book.

I am really pleased with C#, it has a really good feel to it,
speaking intuitively.

OK, off to the books.

Thanks Again

I have that and found it quite useful.

For C# and OpenGL, see the Tao Framework: http://www.taoframework.com/
There is a game engine that uses it here:
http://www.axiom3d.org/

It's what most games use now. As suggested see the Tom Miller book,
although its sample code is already out of date, and you need a
relatively new computer to even run the DirectX SDK samples. A laptop
likely won't do it.

Thanks, I will certainly get the Miller book.

So I'm stuck with Direct Mess... I mean DirectX.
