• NeilBerry Fundamental Graphics.

  Hello. I'm aware this question likely comes up frequently, but I don't want the answer "Use DirectX". - That's not really what I'm looking for. A friend of mine learned C++ using Borland's ancient Turbo C++ compiler - and it, of course, had a ton of specialised functions, like a gotoxy(x,y) for co-ordinate placement in the console window for text output, and things along those lines. However, he learned graphics the hard way. ...Show All

• craigpaterson Vector3.Project() doesn't work.

  I'm trying to project the location of a mesh in world space back to screen coords. I've been searching around with no real luck. I've seen people say that you should use Matrix.Identity instead of your world matrix, but that makes no difference for me at the moment. It's not that the code causes an error, it doesn't. It's just that after projecting pos, it remains almost identical to what it was, off by about 0.5. Considering my values are t ...Show All

• FranciscoDaniel Is there a matrix stack?

  I'm new to MDX though old to OGL. I'm wondering is there a facility in MDX like the matrix stack in OGL Say, in OGL we can simply push and pop matrix which is extremely convinient.

Yes, Microsoft.DirectX.MatrixStack. ...Show All

• Hemant Kanoujiya_29 Render final scene to Texture in Shader [FX Composer]

  I want to save the final rendering of my shadowed scene to a texture (see below). I would like to know how to render to an 800x600 texture directly in the shader. I am using the FX Composer from NVIDIA. I would've thought I could simply add the following as the final pass of the shader: pass Bg < string Script = "RenderColorTarget0=TexFinal;" "RenderDepthStencilTarget=TexFinalDepthMap;" "RenderPort=;&quo ...Show All

• Hugh Potts XNA framework for non C#

  One of the great advantages of the .NET framework is that developers can work on the same project in different programming languages. As I'm reading about XNA, it seems that this will not be possible with the XNA framework. Will the only programming language that has access to the XNA framework be C# The performance hit is from C++ to C# or C++ to VB. VB runs CRL just like C# so the performance is the same.

• webacadie C# - Need explanation working with Tiny trying to apply SDK sample shader

  The SDK has a sample called MultiAnimation. This sample is only available in C++. If you look at the SimpleAnimation (Managed) sample, it is essentially a port of the C++ project to C#, but without rendering using a shader (MultiAnimation.fx) and instead using fixed-function stuff. For the last few nights, I have been trying to understand why the C# port fails in the DrawSubset when the shader is applied. I now know how to fix the problem, bu ...Show All
