Indexed Texture Splatting: a new technique for terrain shading Hey Guys, For the last couple of weeks i had been working on a new technique for terrain shading, to be more precise how to blend a lot textures per patch. The idea was to find a something that works with Geometry Clipmaps, but since storage...

Optimal alignment of vertex data The vertex size is far more important for dynamic vertex buffers, because the CPU Memory Controller usually reads memory in aligned memory chunks of 64bytes, so if you use 48bytes per vertex, for some vertex will need one access and for others t...

GPU clipmaps texture question Are you using D3D9 (or OpenGL 1.x/2.x) or D3D10/11 (or OpenGL 3.x/4.x)? If you are using D3D10 or up, you can use a Texture Array with the diferent textures in each slice in combination with a Index Map (a texture with indices).

Indexed Texture Splatting: a new technique for terrain shading Hey skytiger, Actually i am using some slope based splatting in every material (for example one material could be sand and some rock, other grass with another kind of rock, and so on), using triplannar mapping (where one texture used...

How to detect a DX10 GPU in DX9? Check D3DPMISCCAPS_MRTINDEPENDENTBITDEPTHS, D3D9 cards doen't support it, but D3D10 (and up) does.

The question about DirectCompute and OpenCL. You can use OpenCL with OpenGL, Direct3D 9 and even Direct3D 10. However Direct Compute is part of Direct3D 11.

World Cup 2010 It's the same with NBA players. Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobily, Dirk Nowitzki play on NBA Teams but they play for their national team on FIBA World Cups and Olympics games (Spain, Argentina and Germany respectively).

Access Z buffer in D3D If you want to read a depth buffer as texture you need to use a vendor hack. Check this page: http://aras-p.info/texts/D3D9GPUHacks.html

OpenGL3.0.. I mean 2.2 Quote:Original post by mrbastard Removal of Built-In uniforms -as GLSL has nothing like HLSL/FX's 'semantics' the built-in uniforms were handy for exchanging shaders between apps. Does the ARB have a better solution, GLFX maybe? (sorry, I've been u...

Particle System Rendering Accuracy VS. Speed.... Or Both?? Quote:Original post by JohnBolton Except for using alpha test, there is no way around it -- alpha-blended polygons must be sorted back-to-front in order to look right. Additive Blending doesn´t need sort:)
