Deferred rendering 2010
|
Hello,
I have a Direct3D 10 terrain engine and since I want to port the code to DX11 I am thinking about changing and adding some parts of my architecture.
Currently I am doing forward rendering and I am thinking about switching to deferred rende... |

Rendering without a swapchain?
|
Hello,
In D3D10 and 11: Is a swap chain absolutely required for rendering? Until now I thought yes. I thought every D3D10/11 rendering has to look like this:
create device
create swap chain
device->renderStuff()
swapchain->present()

Near and Far Plane
|
Hello,
I have some little question about Near/Far Planes and NDC:
1) Assume I have a point v in object space and I transform it with the MVP matrix into clip space: u=v*MVP.
D3D clips this point u if:
u.x or u.y is outside [-u.w,u.w] or or u... |

Matrix questions
|
Hello,
I have 2 question about OpenGL:
1) When I want to transform a vertex v in Direct3D by 2 matrices it looks this way:
v’ = v*A*B
Mathematically there are 2 ways to compute this:
Step by step:
v'=v*A
v’=v'*B
or with matrix... |

Hi,
a little question about a statement from the OpenGL superbible:
"If the new pixels's z value is higher, it is closer to the viewer and thus in front of the previous pixel, so the previous pixel is obscured by the new pixel"

Which GUI toolkit for editor?

Hi guys,
I have a big question that will influence my work for the next years. I have a little 3D-Engine, writte in C++ and DirectX11. Now I want to write an 3D-editor (kinda like crytek's sandbox, but obviously less advanced) and I just can't dec... |

DirectX11 with DX10 card?
|
Hello,
I want to delve into DirectX11 development, but I only have a DirectX11 card (Geforce GTX 275) and Windows 7. Can I still develop with DX11 or do I need a DX11 card? |

Matrix stacks still relevant?

I am currently trying to delve deeper into the OGL API and I have just read a text that says the OpenGL matrix stack is deprecated now. I was really happy when I read this, because I always hated this matrix stack thing in OpenGL.
Anyway, my questio... |

OpenGL Matrix
|
Hello,
I am reading a book called "OpenGL SuperBible 5th Edition" and the page 158 tries to explain matrices.
Actually I have a solid understanding of matrices (worked a lot with Direct3D), but this page confuses me.
The code is about a spinning... |

Thanks for all your replies!
One question: I didn't delve into the details of deferred rendering but it looks like you use determine the "virtual bounding volume" of a light source in screen space and then only draw quads over these spaces. F... |

Matrix questions
|
I prefer to totally skip the deprecated stuff and start with the "new" OGL 3.3+ core features. For the math stuff I prefer to use plain math tutorials.
If I see code like this:
Quote:draw_wheel_and_bolts()
{
long i;
draw_wheel();

Ok, I got it now:)
(Even though I refused to read your red book article, because I think the red book is totally outdated and I absolutely HATE matrix stacks!) |

Also notice that matrix multiplication is commutative
No its not. The order DOES matter!
@karwosts: To be honest I am still kinda confused by OpenGL matrices.

Hm...
regarding question 2:
The statement calls world coordinate "eye coordinates". I think this is false.
Regarding question 1:
I just want to know in which order I have to multiply matrices in OpenGL. Lets say I have this:
v' = A*B*C*v

Thanks for all your answers guys:)
I will check out QT the next weeks and if I manage to successfully integrate D3D11 into QT I will stay with it and will be happy that I don't have to write tons of Interop code;)

OpenGL Matrix
|
I know haegarr, but for ME row vectors (and the according "row matrices") feel more intutive.
When I want to apply a scale, then rotate than translation, I would intuitively write this on a paper:
v*S*R*T, because I read from left to write.

Keep in mind that the matrices work BACKWARD from the way we would logically think of them. Reading your statement as plane English, you are correct: it makes no sense that translating THEN rotating would make the t... |
