Studioj Getting rendered graphics (quickly) from the card
I had a thread about thins some days back, but for some reason I can not write into it now. I am faced with the task of rendering some graphics with directx and then copying that graphics into another card which generates a video signal. I need to feed it a new frame 25 times a second. The size is 720*576 The rendering does not have to be any faster that this. I have tried two methods of geting the pixels, and both are much too slow. On ...Show All
kgy Direct3D and DXVA
I'm using DirectShow and VMR9 in renderless mode to draw video into a texture which I can then composite via Direct3D. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work with DXVA. I can allocate DXVA format _surfaces_ in my allocator/presenter, but I can't seem to create DXVA _textures_. Does anyone know how to either create DXVA textures, or render DXVA surfaces via Direct3D Thanks in advance for any help, ...Show All

Makemagic need help using Type 1 fonts with DirectX
Hi, My problem is that apparently DirectX (Font.DrawText method) can't work correctly with Type 1 fonts. It creates Font object (which is cool already 'cause the System.Drawing won't do even that) and displays characters using it but they're just not the characters from the string. After a reasearch on fonts I found out that the characters in the Type 1 font can be identified in 3 ways. Either by their names like 'space' and stuff which th ...Show All
avner ben-zvi Looking for a Direct3D system architecture diagram...
Hi all... I am looking for detailed block diagram information that describes the Direct3D architecture. Thus far I have found only limited architecture information like the diagram here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/Direct3D_Architecture.asp . Other than the preceding link, I have found that most online Direct3D information relates to the function calls in the API. While function calls are ...Show All
Tom Morris DirectInput problem with simultaneous keys.
Hi, My program(C#) uses a DirectInput device to interpret the keyboard input. I use the arrow keys to move my sprite and the space bar to fire. Seperately these things work perfectly, I can move up, down, left and right and up-left, up-right, etc. My problem is that when I press the space bar and try to go up-left it will only go left or up(depending on which arrowbutton was first pressed). However when I try to go up-right or any oth ...Show All

henry neo Problems setting parameters in HLSL effect
Hi I'm trying to get a basic effect running in my engine, but I am having difficulties getting the parameters from my code into the effect. They seem to be sticking at the initial value. For instance I have added time to the glow EffectEdit sample and added a sin(time) term to make the glow pulse. It works fine in EffectEdit, but in my engine, the time sticks at the initial value of zero. I have verified this in the debugger, I am setting th ...Show All
jeff roberts .X Files, Baked Textures & 3D Studio Max
Since there is a .x file exporter for 3D Studio Max included to DirectX SDK, I'm posting this thread here - hope there are co-martyrs on this forum. I've analysed the character samples for C++ that come with the dxsdk. If you've done the same you couldn't have missed the "tiny" character. Judging by it's .x file hierarchy, it's been made in 3dsm. The character's texture bitmap is baked (it looks like the object's been peeled off). Well, I'm havi ...Show All
Banaticus May seem like a silly question... (DirectX logo)
What are the terms for using the DirectX logo in a game Been looking all over without finding an answer. In my case I'd like to display it as an icon while performing initialization and during configuration.

Take care. ...Show All
