1. WRONG
2. RIGHT

1. The sorting problem comes from the fact that alpha blending is a non commutative operation. It is important in what order the blending is evaluated.
2. Since the billboards are all coplanar they cannot intersect.

DirectX API
|
This?
I was a bit confused about the seperation of the DirectX documentation.
It's not as bundled as it was till dx9. I think they pulled out the D3D stuff because it was becoming too big to keep it together with the rest of the dx stuff? |

Programming changed? Forever?

I guess quantum computing will find its niche. From what I have read, quantum computing seems to be more about probability computations (If not, enlighten me. This subject is pretty confusing).

When connecting to the server your local time will get sync'ed to the server's.

Slow Performance in Direct3D9 [solved]

Let me correct myself.
After refreshing my D3D knowledge it seems the "don't lock after BeginScene()" part is not entirely true. It depends on many factors. Setting the right usage flags and making draw calls at the right places, it can even... |

Slow Performance in Direct3D9 [solved]

Is there a specific reason you're locking the buffer after calling device->BeginScene(). From what I remember locking resources between BeginScene() EndScene() and Present() is discouraged because it can degrade performance. (pipeline stall). You... |

Calculating what direction the model is facing
|
Okay.
So the model seems to be rotated in the wrong direction.
Either go back to 3dsmax rotate the model and export it again or just add 90° to the rotation angle. |

light sources

What directx version?
Shaders?
Which shader version?
Using the effect framework?
It actually depends on many factors how to add light to a scene in directx.
What is your level of experience in computer graphics? |
