Windowed performance issues with OMSetRenderTargetsAndUnorderedAccessViews Has anyone else noticed performance issues in windowed mode when binding UAV's with OMSetRenderTargetsAndUnorderedAccessViews? I'm wondering if this is a buffer configuration, device configuration, driver, or vendor issue... I've disabled all of t...

Wireframe shader without wireframe state I have spent the last few days implementing a gregory patch tessellation system in dx11 (based on http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cloop/sga09.pdf) I'm now putting together a couple of demo vides, however, due to the pathetic rende...

Export Editable Spline from 3dsmax I'm playing with creating a guide hair export system for 3dsmax. I am familiar with the sdk interfaces for MNMesh, and Mesh, however not so familiar with exporting editable splines / spline3d. Could someone recommend how to go about exporting edi...

SensateFX - Shadow accepting and casting particles Hi Everyone, About a month ago I released a demo showing of the first steps of my renderer. After another month of after work coding, I've made some enhancements to the renderer, including a rehash of the shadowing system and addition of a paramat...

RTT Compute Wrapper I seem to remember stumbling over a Direct3d9 wrapper for computation through render to texture on this site. I've lost the link to it and was hoping if anyone knew who wrote it or where on the site I could find the link. Extensive searches...

Sensate Editor Alpha This was a project to create my first editor. I did learn a lot, but ultimately it was an unsustainable endeavor. m [Edited by - sensate on October 19, 2008 1:21:28 PM]

[Resolved] Inconsistent output from pixel shaders while porting DX9 to DX10 Hi, I've been porting my renderer from DX9 to DX10 and have run across some problems in my post effects system. My HDR system uses a 128 bit (I know I should migrate to the new dedicated formats, but later), render target for all scene rendering....

Video Renderer and and Editor Hi Everyone. Over the last few weeks I completely rewrote my codebase from scratch, so that I could better support baked materials, better DXSAS support, better file formats etc... So, my first demo from this new code base is a .NET 2.0 applica...

FBO Depth Texture Overwrite Solved... When using FBO Depth Texture in the following manner: // Enable render-to-texture glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, fb); // Set up depth_tex for render-to-texture glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, ...

Need help porting Sean O'neils GPU gems 2 article to HLSL I'm currently porting O'neils article from GPU Gems 2 to HLSL. I was wondering if anyone can spot anything in here that would cause the atmosphere to render as a thick white band when the camera is looking at the atmosphere from space? CONSTANTS F...

Megatexture Demo (+ Source) Nice work. I've been meaning to look into virtual texturing for a while now. Does your source include the asset generation logic?

Windowed performance issues with OMSetRenderTargetsAndUnorderedAccessViews It *is* a bloody SLI performance problem in windowed mode... grrrr! I'm going to check if zeroing all of the buffers improves things. I'm guessing that there is an implicit copy happening on the UAV's because they are not getting cleared...

Lost Sector First alpha test version (join alpha test) Lighting looks great, the only thing I have criticism of is the shadow ambient. It looks like a wet material rather than shadow... Can't wait to try the alpha when I get home.

R5: Trees Very nice. I took a quick look at your google source page. It looks like you've abstracted out the render api layer. Are you thinking of writing a dx11 layer too? As far as the demo goes, it causes a TDR under Windows 7 with ATI 5870 and 9.12 driv...

Get the contents of the Z buffer DX10 and some formats in Opengl you could do the operation in a shader and output the result to a 32 or 16 bit color format. If you are outputting to software, I guess you probably don't care about realtime performance. What is it you wish to achiev...

Directx10 & direct9 mostly the same? In short. No. In long, well, sorta. The API has changed to a large degree. The underlying concepts are still the same, but there are some very important changes to the way resources are viewed. However: - You should be able to abstract a set...

HDR image processing library? Sorry, I didn't notice you were searching for source. If you haven't read it already I'd recommend: High Dynamic Range Imaging Acquisition, Display, and Image-Based Lighting (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics) (The Morgan Kaufman...
