i’d say the mapping-skinning-characters are often done with 3ds-maya and the 3d engine either copied from older games (ie quake engine ) but certainely programmed in C++ with lots of Direct3D-OpenGL programming to it…

lots of directx info - I think the SDK comes with a bunch of samples in C++, C#, and VB. If I find the little sample program I had I’ll post a link. It was either with the SDK or it might be the separate ‘Extras’ download.

a couple more links for ya -
