  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

• Vladimir_Kost Latest DirectX SDK Update for Windows 2000?

  Hi guys, I wanted to update my SDK to the February update but it seems support for it has been dropped from Windows 2000. Is there plans to change this or is it going the way of the XP now Cheers. Windows 2000 is unsupported as a development target. Your apps will run on it, but you can't develop on it. You should also note that, unless you have paid for an extended support contract, Windows 2000 ...Show All

• CBono Only square textures?

  I just found out that, when converting from a bitmap to a texture, directX appears to stretch the bitmap into a square.

But I've been determining the size of an object on the screen based on the original bitmap that was loa ...Show All
