JeffSkla Global Variable and Register don't connect in HLSL
I define this gloabal variable in my Shader fx file: float MyTime : register(c0); And my pixel shader (in asm format in my fx file) I use the c0 register I thought I could Set the value of MyTime in my cpp code and that the c0 register would use that value...but apparently it's not working Now I use a workaround and use dlc t0.x to use the vertex shader output texture But what is wrong with the register(c0) that when I set this glo ...Show All
ZaceOne Geometry.BoxBoundProbe not working as intended?
Hi, yesterday I was writing the collision detection code, and I had a really pain, figuring why the code: Geometry.BoxBoundProbe(BoundingMin, BoundingMax, Position, Direction); isn't the same as: if(BoundingMin.X<(Position.X + Direction.X) && (Position.X + Direction.X)<BoundingMax.X) if(BoundingMin.Y<(Position.Y + Direction.Y) && (Position.Y + Direction.Y)<BoundingMax.Y) ...Show All
Roggan Dynamic for-loop in HLSL Pixel Shader
Hi there, does somebody know if (how) it is possible to use a for loop in a HLSL pixel shader with a dynamic count For example: int count = 5 / a; for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) ... I didn't manage, whatever I tried the effect creation fails. Even with shader model 3. Nico Suddenly it works! I don't know what I made wrong before. Anyway, when compiling a shader with a dynamic for loop there is a lot of preprocessin ...Show All

Everything works fine, however I need to be able to change and edit parameters of the model with the usual text input boxes and track bar, as well as haveing a menu with different options.

madfan Sprite.Draw2D and Alphablending?
I'm trying to do alphablended sprites (not color keyed sprites), but it doesn't seems to works. I tried to load .dds with alpha channel and .bmp (32bpp, last channel should be obviously alpha, but i don't know if TextureLoader.FromFile() understand the last channel as an alpha channel). I've put the device's renderstate at alphablendingenable = true (don't have any PS GFX card). But it doesn't seems to work. Am I missing something Maybe should I ...Show All
Adam Tappis - IMGroup Which version of MDX to choose?
Hi! I've decided to start learining C# and MDX. Which version of MDX i should choose I thought about 2.0, but it's still beta and there's no documentation for it.

Renato Sansevero statically linking D3D?
Hi there, Might seem a dumb question, but I'm wondering whether it's possible to statically link with Direct3D/other DX components; I realise the application size would probably grow to the nth degree, but at the moment that's not a problem. The reason for this is that I seem to be having difficulty with machines that have different versions of the runtime on (eg October 2005 vs February 2004) with missing DLLs (d3d9_27.dll is the latest ...Show All
w4t4fAk Exporting .X with Maya
Hi all, I'm having some issues exporting geometry from Maya 6.5 with the sdk plugin, and was wondering if perhaps there was something wrong with the mesh's topology. What exactly can and can't be exported I assume that a mesh must be triangulated, but does it need to be continuous (no holes), and what is the limit to the number of materials that can be applied If you'd like to see what I'm talking about, or try to export it yourself, the .mb of ...Show All
