    VOut As D3DVECTOR, _ 
    V1 As D3DVECTOR, _ 
    V2 As D3DVECTOR)

Parameters

VOut
D3DVECTOR type that is the result of the operation, the cross product of two 3-D vectors.
V1

Remarks

This function determines the cross-product with the following code.

Dim VOut As D3DVECTOR

VOut.x = V1.y * V2.z - V1.z * V2.y
VOut.y = V1.z * V2.x - V1.x * V2.z
VOut.z = V1.x * V2.y - V1.y * V2.x
