I would like to get some information on how exactly to go about starting to code my own viewer. Now, I understand that I will need to install visual studio and learn C++ but what else do I need to do or learn. I have coded a little but never anything like the SL viewer. But, for a long time now have had some ideas I would like to add to a viewer and thought I might as well try giving it a go.
If possible, responses only please from other viewer developers / teams.
Thankyou
