You might also be interested in trying this (it renders dranik somewhat)
It's not openeq but I've got my windows d3d9 renderer working a little bit better now. The source code (for vc++ express...) is available at
http://www.fx2100.com/eqengine_src.zip
It builds the main program and 2 dlls.
You need to put the filename of the EQG file on the command line
Use keys 1, 2, 3,4 and PGUP PGDOWN and the arrow keys to move. ALT-F4 to quit
If anyone wants to take a look but can't build it I can make a binary build available.
