[DX9] Weird vertex constant register count in caps
|
Hello everyone,
I query the D3D9Caps structure to learn how many vertex shader constant registers the current GPU has. This works fine on the reference device (8192), but on my ATI Radeon HD 4870 it just reports 256. Well... isn't DX10-c... |

[Solved] Conversion between righthanded and lefthanded coordinate systems

Hi there,
I'm in the process of rewriting parts of a generic 3d scene loader library. This library offers conversion from (default) righthanded OpenGL like coordinate system to a lefthanded coordinate system like the one Direct3D uses. Up to... |

[Solved] [DX9 HLSL] Compiler produces scalar muls instead of vector ops
|
Hi again,
I've encountered a strange behaviour of the DX9 shader compiler (Nov08 SDK). Consider the following 4x4 downfilter shader
static const float2 gOffset[16] = { <16 offsets> };
float4 main( const PixelEingabe rein) : COLOR0

[DX9] Weird vertex constant register count in caps
|
Thanks to everyone for the input! I learned from you guys and other sources that most GPUs are lying about their constant registers in the D3D9 caps. Therefore I had to solve the problem in a different way. I added a post processing step to the Open... |

[DirectX10, C++] My models are borked!

Your indices are wrong. You don't have a single array of indices, but a little index array for each face. You therefore have to do the following:
(without warranty, I don't know DX10)
//! Index Buffer
std::vector<UINT> indices;... |

[DX9] Weird vertex constant register count in caps

Thanks for the reply. I already support minimum spec GPUs down to SM2.0, but I want to use more in case it's there. And for a Radeon4870 I KNOW that it's there. I'd be satisfied if it reports just a single of its constant buffers as linear vertex sha... |

You have to put the calculation after the input from the user. Each statement you write there is executed immediatly. So if you write the calculation in front of the user input, your formula uses whatever value your input variables have at that time... |

Is the X file format deprecated?
|
It's not "deprecated" - it's just a format specification, after all. Collada is better supported, though. As is FBX, even though it's a closed format. Search for a readymade loader library, such as the FBX SDK (for FBX, naturally) or Assimp (for Coll... |
