Curver

Hi. These are a couple of screenshots from Curver, a small application I'm currently making for creating curves for clean line art quickly and intuitively. Basically instead of working with control points and tangents, the user draws curves and then... |

Hello everyone. I have a rather simple problem and I thought maybe there is something I'm missing that would help me with it. I have a function that loops over a number of objects and doe some calculations and modifies them, and I'd like to keep that... |

VC++ 2008 EE. Where are the CRT docs?

I've recently upgraded from VC++ 2005 Express Edition to the 2008 version, and I can't find the documentation for the C runtime. My development machine doesn't always have internet connection so I can't rely on the online docs. Is there a w... |

Normal from Depth

Hi. I render my scene and store only the screen-space depth into a 32-bit floating point buffer. How can I later use the depth at each pixel (and neighboring pixels) to construct a screen-space normal vector? For now, I have this in the final HL... |

Modern engine design

Hello. There are a lot of resources that one could look at for help on implementing a particular effect or technique, but resources on how to design a powerful and flexible modern rendering engine are scarse, I think. All the resources... |

Uniform booleans in effects

Hi. In an effect, I have a global boolean variable whose value is set by the app on a per-object basis, and in the pixel shader function I test if that boolean is set or not, and if it's set the pixel shader does lots of computations. Now, assum... |

Optimizing C++ with code generators

Hi. I'm writing a software renderer in C++ (for evil reasons, don't ask), and I have come to believe that I could use dynamic code generation to optimize some critical parts. For example, I suppose it can be used to avoid the need to check per pixel... |

Know a free fluid simulation library?
|
Hi. Does anyone know of a simple, good, free, and realtime-oriented C++ library for fluid simulation? I'm only looking for 2D functionality, so it doesn't have to support 3D simulation. Thanks in advance. |

[win32] window procedure: 1 for all window or 1 per window ?
|
You can't (directly) have a window procedure per window. The window procedure is a property of the window class, and all windows that share the same window class will have the same window procedure. However, there are ways to couple some Window objec... |

Those are still images so I'm guessing here, but given that it's a very fast game and the cable is very close to the camera as it passes, would it benefit from blurring the texture on the cable in on... |

Good luck with that! I don't want to put you down, but look at the code for the edit control in DXUT... it's not trivial to say the least. Now that I m... |

[DirectX] DrawText() with DT_CALCRECT problem..

Try DT_CALCRECT | DT_SINGLELINE. Also experiment with DT_EXTERNALLEADING.
Also, it seems what you're trying to do is draw separate strings next to each other. Tinkering with text placement too much is rarely a good idea. Instead, I suggest you just... |

Internally, when you create a resource in the managed pool, D3D creates a default pool and system memory pool copy of the texture;
