Simle HLSL cubemap reflection

I recently started to play around with HLSL shaders. I'm currently trying to make real simple water, with bump mapping and cubempa reflection. Now my problem is with that actual cubemap reflection. The code is pretty simple, and for once I under... |

Point sprite alpha (DirectX 9 C++)

I have problems with point sprites. I've followed the sdk code and all worked fine, if you look at the point sprites alone. Because with the rest of the objects in ym engine, there is problem. Transperency seems to work in a strange way. Alpha states... |

I may be totally wrong, and I'm deeply sorry if I am, but I just want to help you here. Just by reading your post I get the idea that you don't necessarily have the knowledge and resources required to build even the most basic MMORPG. I don't say tha... |

x-file mesh collision (tetris)

I think what he meant was to use one boundind box per rectangular shape in a mesh. For example, in a T or a L there would be two bounding boxes required (one for the vertical part and one for the horizontal one). On the other hand... |

resources and directory structure

--- Models (Meshes)
--- Textures
--- Shaders
--- Sounds
--- ect..
The way they act together and the hierarchy of the structure... |

Have a read of Learning to Love your Z-Buffer. It's in the context of OpenGL but otherwise sound.
Now I get it. I always thought (and I guess I'm not alone) that the z-buffer was linear. Of course it's more logical to do it non-linear, b... |

Z-fighting ?

I just tried depth biasing and it doesn't seem to work. Like you said, resuolts may vary on different hardware and it seems it won't work on mine. Anyway, the problem was already solved by putting a near plane distance of about 5, which isi... |

Simle HLSL cubemap reflection

It was actually pretty clear. Wow, nice find. Such a small thing it was, but I would never have found it. Thank you alot. Sadly, I did my water a new way. You see, as the reflection is computed in the pixel shader, I use it to add nice waves by displ... |

Simle HLSL cubemap reflection

I find it quite difficult to understand some things in HLSL. Like I said, interpolation seems to give different results depending on data sent or recieved. The best example is per-pixel lighting. The calclations are mostly made in the pixel shad... |
