**Microsoft DirectX** is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to
|
|
multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the names of these APIs
|
|
all began with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. [...]
|
|
Direct3D (the 3D graphics API within DirectX) is widely used in the development of video games for Microsoft
|
|
Windows and the Xbox line of consoles.<sup>[1]</sup>
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial we will be focusing on DirectX 9, which is not as low-level as it's successors, which are aimed at programmers very familiar with how graphics hardware works. It makes a great starting point for learning Direct3D. In this tutorial I will be using the Win32-API for window handling and the DirectX 2010 SDK.
|
|
|
|
## Window creation
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <Windows.h>
|
|
|
|
bool _running{ false };
|
|
|
|
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
|
|
// Handle incoming message.
|
|
switch (msg) {
|
|
// Set running to false if the user tries to close the window.
|
|
case WM_DESTROY:
|
|
_running = false;
|
|
PostQuitMessage(0);
|
|
break;
|
|
}
|
|
// Return the handled event.
|
|
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
|
|
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {
|
|
// Set window properties we want to use.
|
|
WNDCLASSEX wndEx{ };
|
|
wndEx.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); // structure size
|
|
wndEx.style = CS_VREDRAW | CS_HREDRAW; // class styles
|
|
wndEx.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; // window procedure
|
|
wndEx.cbClsExtra = 0; // extra memory (struct)
|
|
wndEx.cbWndExtra = 0; // extra memory (window)
|
|
wndEx.hInstance = hInstance; // module instance
|
|
wndEx.hIcon = LoadIcon(nullptr, IDI_APPLICATION); // icon
|
|
wndEx.hCursor = LoadCursor(nullptr, IDC_ARROW); // cursor
|
|
wndEx.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_WINDOW; // background color
|
|
wndEx.lpszMenuName = nullptr; // menu name
|
|
wndEx.lpszClassName = "DirectXClass"; // register class name
|
|
wndEx.hIconSm = nullptr; // small icon (taskbar)
|
|
// Register created class for window creation.
|
|
RegisterClassEx(&wndEx);
|
|
// Create a new window handle.
|
|
HWND hWnd{ nullptr };
|
|
// Create a new window handle using the registered class.
|
|
hWnd = CreateWindow("DirectXClass", // registered class
|
|
"directx window", // window title
|
|
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, // window style
|
|
50, 50, // x, y (position)
|
|
1024, 768, // width, height (size)
|
|
nullptr, // parent window
|
|
nullptr, // menu
|
|
hInstance, // module instance
|
|
nullptr); // struct for infos
|
|
// Check if a window handle has been created.
|
|
if (!hWnd)
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Show and update the new window.
|
|
ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);
|
|
UpdateWindow(hWnd);
|
|
// Start the game loop and send incoming messages to the window procedure.
|
|
_running = true;
|
|
MSG msg{ };
|
|
while (_running) {
|
|
while (PeekMessage(&msg, hWnd, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) {
|
|
TranslateMessage(&msg);
|
|
DispatchMessage(&msg);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should create a window, that can the moved, resized and closed.
|
|
|
|
## Direct3D initialization
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Includes DirectX 9 structures and functions.
|
|
// Remember to link "d3d9.lib" and "d3dx9.lib".
|
|
// For "d3dx9.lib" the DirectX SDK (June 2010) is needed.
|
|
// Don't forget to set your subsystem to Windows.
|
|
#include <d3d9.h>
|
|
#include <d3dx9.h>
|
|
// Includes the ComPtr, a smart pointer automatically releasing COM objects.
|
|
#include <wrl.h>
|
|
using namespace Microsoft::WRL;
|
|
// Next we define some Direct3D9 interface structs we need.
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3D9> _d3d{ };
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DDevice9> _device{ };
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With all interfaces declared we can now initialize Direct3D.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
bool InitD3D(HWND hWnd) {
|
|
// Store the size of the window rectangle.
|
|
RECT clientRect{ };
|
|
GetClientRect(hWnd, &clientRect);
|
|
// Initialize Direct3D
|
|
_d3d = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);
|
|
// Get the display mode which format will be the window format.
|
|
D3DDISPLAYMODE displayMode{ };
|
|
_d3d->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, // use default graphics card
|
|
&displayMode); // display mode pointer
|
|
// Next we have to set some presentation parameters.
|
|
D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS pp{ };
|
|
pp.BackBufferWidth = clientRect.right; // width is window width
|
|
pp.BackBufferHeight = clientRect.bottom; // height is window height
|
|
pp.BackBufferFormat = displayMode.Format; // use adapter format
|
|
pp.BackBufferCount = 1; // 1 back buffer (default)
|
|
pp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD; // discard after presentation
|
|
pp.hDeviceWindow = hWnd; // associated window handle
|
|
pp.Windowed = true; // display in window mode
|
|
pp.Flags = 0; // no special flags
|
|
// Variable to store results of methods to check if everything succeeded.
|
|
HRESULT result{ };
|
|
result = _d3d->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, // use default graphics card
|
|
D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, // use hardware acceleration
|
|
hWnd, // the window handle
|
|
D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
|
|
// vertices are processed by the hardware
|
|
&pp, // the present parameters
|
|
&_device); // struct to store the device
|
|
// Return false if the device creation failed.
|
|
// It is helpful to set breakpoints at the return line.
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return false;
|
|
// Create a viewport which hold information about which region to draw to.
|
|
D3DVIEWPORT9 viewport{ };
|
|
viewport.X = 0; // start at top left corner
|
|
viewport.Y = 0; // ..
|
|
viewport.Width = clientRect.right; // use the entire window
|
|
viewport.Height = clientRect.bottom; // ..
|
|
viewport.MinZ = 0.0f; // minimum view distance
|
|
viewport.MaxZ = 100.0f; // maximum view distance
|
|
// Apply the created viewport.
|
|
result = _device->SetViewport(&viewport);
|
|
// Always check if something failed.
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return false;
|
|
// Everything was successful, return true.
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Back in our WinMain function we call our initialization function.
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Check if Direct3D initialization succeeded, else exit the application.
|
|
if (!InitD3D(hWnd))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
|
|
MSG msg{ };
|
|
while (_running) {
|
|
while (PeekMessage(&msg, hWnd, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) {
|
|
TranslateMessage(&msg);
|
|
DispatchMessage(&msg);
|
|
}
|
|
// Clear to render target to a specified color.
|
|
_device->Clear(0, // number of rects to clear
|
|
nullptr, // indicates to clear the entire window
|
|
D3DCLEAR_TARGET, // clear all render targets
|
|
D3DXCOLOR{ 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f }, // color (red)
|
|
0.0f, // depth buffer clear value
|
|
0); // stencil buffer clear value
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Drawing operations go here.
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Flip the front- and backbuffer.
|
|
_device->Present(nullptr, // no source rectangle
|
|
nullptr, // no destination rectangle
|
|
nullptr, // don't change the current window handle
|
|
nullptr); // pretty much always nullptr
|
|
}
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now the window should be displayed in a bright red color.
|
|
|
|
## Vertex Buffer
|
|
|
|
Let's create a vertex buffer to store the vertices for our triangle
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// At the top of the file we need to add a include.
|
|
#include <vector>
|
|
// First we declare a new ComPtr holding a vertex buffer.
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DVertexBuffer9> _vertexBuffer{ };
|
|
// Lets define a function to calculate the byte size of a std::vector
|
|
template <typename T>
|
|
unsigned int GetByteSize(const std::vector<T>& vec) {
|
|
return sizeof(vec[0]) * vec.size();
|
|
}
|
|
// Define "flexible vertex format" describing the content of our vertex struct.
|
|
// Use the defined color as diffuse color.
|
|
const unsigned long VertexStructFVF = D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE;
|
|
// Define a struct representing the vertex data the buffer will hold.
|
|
struct VStruct {
|
|
float x, y, z; // store the 3D position
|
|
D3DCOLOR color; // store a color
|
|
};
|
|
// Declare a new function to create a vertex buffer.
|
|
IDirect3DVertexBuffer9* CreateBuffer(const std::vector<VStruct>& vertices) {
|
|
// Declare the buffer to be returned.
|
|
IDirect3DVertexBuffer9* buffer{ };
|
|
HRESULT result{ };
|
|
result = _device->CreateVertexBuffer(
|
|
GetByteSize(vertices), // vector size in bytes
|
|
0, // data usage
|
|
VertexStructFVF, // FVF of the struct
|
|
D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, // use default pool for the buffer
|
|
&buffer, // receiving buffer
|
|
nullptr); // special shared handle
|
|
// Check if buffer was created successfully.
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return nullptr;
|
|
// Create a data pointer for copying the vertex data
|
|
void* data{ };
|
|
// Lock the buffer to get a buffer for data storage.
|
|
result = buffer->Lock(0, // byte offset
|
|
GetByteSize(vertices), // size to lock
|
|
&data, // receiving data pointer
|
|
0); // special lock flags
|
|
// Check if buffer was locked successfully.
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return nullptr;
|
|
// Copy the vertex data using C standard libraries memcpy.
|
|
memcpy(data, vertices.data(), GetByteSize(vertices));
|
|
buffer->Unlock();
|
|
// Set the FVF Direct3D uses for rendering.
|
|
_device->SetFVF(VertexStructFVF);
|
|
// If everything was successful return the filled vertex buffer.
|
|
return buffer;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In our **WinMain** we can now call the new function after the Direct3D initialization.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// ...
|
|
if (!InitD3D(hWnd))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Define the vertices we need to draw a triangle.
|
|
// Values are declared in a clockwise direction else Direct3D would cull them.
|
|
// If you want to disable culling just call:
|
|
// _device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_NONE);
|
|
std::vector<VStruct> vertices {
|
|
// Bottom left
|
|
VStruct{ -1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f } },
|
|
// Top left
|
|
VStruct{ -1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f } },
|
|
// Top right
|
|
VStruct{ 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f } }
|
|
};
|
|
// Try to create the vertex buffer else exit the application.
|
|
if (!(_vertexBuffer = CreateBuffer(vertices)))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Transformations
|
|
|
|
Before we can use the vertex buffer to draw our primitives, we first need to set up the matrices.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Lets create a new functions for the matrix transformations.
|
|
bool SetupTransform() {
|
|
// Create a view matrix that transforms world space to
|
|
// view space.
|
|
D3DXMATRIX view{ };
|
|
// Use a left-handed coordinate system.
|
|
D3DXMatrixLookAtLH(
|
|
&view, // receiving matrix
|
|
&D3DXVECTOR3{ 0.0f, 0.0f, -20.0f }, // "camera" position
|
|
&D3DXVECTOR3{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }, // position where to look at
|
|
&D3DXVECTOR3{ 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f }); // positive y-axis is up
|
|
HRESULT result{ };
|
|
result = _device->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, &view); // apply the view matrix
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return false;
|
|
// Create a projection matrix that defines the view frustrum.
|
|
// It transforms the view space to projection space.
|
|
D3DXMATRIX projection{ };
|
|
// Create a perspective projection using a left-handed coordinate system.
|
|
D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(
|
|
&projection, // receiving matrix
|
|
D3DXToRadian(60.0f), // field of view in radians
|
|
1024.0f / 768.0f, // aspect ratio (width / height)
|
|
0.0f, // minimum view distance
|
|
100.0f); // maximum view distance
|
|
result = _device->SetTransform(D3DTS_PROJECTION, &projection);
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return false;
|
|
// Disable lighting for now so we can see what we want to render.
|
|
result = _device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING, false);
|
|
// View and projection matrix are successfully applied, return true.
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Back in the WinMain function we can now call the transformation function.
|
|
// ...
|
|
if (!(_vertexBuffer = CreateVertexBuffer(vertices)))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Call the transformation setup function.
|
|
if (!SetupTransform())
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rendering
|
|
|
|
Now that everything is setup we can start drawing our first 2D triangle in 3D space.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// ...
|
|
if (!SetupTransform())
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// First we have to bind our vertex buffer to the data stream.
|
|
HRESULT result{ };
|
|
result = _device->SetStreamSource(0, // use the default stream
|
|
_vertexBuffer.Get(), // pass the vertex buffer
|
|
0, // no offset
|
|
sizeof(VStruct)); // size of vertex struct
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
|
|
// Create a world transformation matrix and set it to an identity matrix.
|
|
D3DXMATRIX world{ };
|
|
D3DXMatrixIdentity(&world);
|
|
// Create a scalation matrix scaling our primitive by 10 in the x,
|
|
// 10 in the y and keeping the z direction.
|
|
D3DXMATRIX scaling{ };
|
|
D3DXMatrixScaling(&scaling, // matrix to scale
|
|
10, // x scaling
|
|
10, // y scaling
|
|
1); // z scaling
|
|
// Create a rotation matrix storing the current rotation of our primitive.
|
|
// We set the current rotation matrix to an identity matrix for now.
|
|
D3DXMATRIX rotation{ };
|
|
D3DXMatrixIdentity(&rotation);
|
|
// Now we multiply the scalation and rotation matrix and store the result
|
|
// in the world matrix.
|
|
D3DXMatrixMultiply(&world, // destination matrix
|
|
&scaling, // matrix 1
|
|
&rotation); // matrix 2
|
|
// Apply the current world matrix.
|
|
_device->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &world);
|
|
// Disable culling so we can see the back of our primitive when it rotates.
|
|
_device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_NONE);
|
|
// The default cullmode is D3DCULL_CW.
|
|
// After we used our the rotation matrix for multiplication we can set it
|
|
// to rotate a small amount.
|
|
// D3DXToRadian() function converts degree to radians.
|
|
D3DXMatrixRotationY(&rotation, // matrix to rotate
|
|
D3DXToRadian(0.5f)); // rotation angle in radians
|
|
|
|
MSG msg{ };
|
|
while (_running) {
|
|
// ...
|
|
_device->Clear(0, nullptr, D3DCLEAR_TARGET,
|
|
D3DXCOLOR{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f }, 0.0f, 0);
|
|
// With everything setup we can call the draw function.
|
|
_device->BeginScene();
|
|
_device->DrawPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLELIST, // primitive type
|
|
0, // start vertex
|
|
1); // primitive count
|
|
_device->EndScene();
|
|
|
|
_device->Present(nullptr, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
|
|
// We can keep multiplying the world matrix with our rotation matrix
|
|
// to add it's rotation to the world matrix.
|
|
D3DXMatrixMultiply(&world, &world, &rotation);
|
|
// Update the modified world matrix.
|
|
_device->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &world);
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now be viewing a 10x10 units colored triangle from 20 units away, rotating around its origin.<br>

|
|
## Indexing
|
|
|
|
To make it easier to draw primitives sharing a lot of vertices we can use indexing, so we only have to declare the unique vertices and put the order they are called in another array.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// First we declare a new ComPtr for our index buffer.
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DIndexBuffer9> _indexBuffer{ };
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Declare a function creating a index buffer from a std::vector
|
|
IDirect3DIndexBuffer9* CreateIBuffer(std::vector<unsigned int>& indices) {
|
|
IDirect3DIndexBuffer9* buffer{ };
|
|
HRESULT result{ };
|
|
result = _device->CreateIndexBuffer(
|
|
GetByteSize(indices), // vector size in bytes
|
|
0, // data usage
|
|
D3DFMT_INDEX32, // format is 32 bit int
|
|
D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, // default pool
|
|
&buffer, // receiving buffer
|
|
nullptr); // special shared handle
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return nullptr;
|
|
// Create a data pointer pointing to the buffer data.
|
|
void* data{ };
|
|
result = buffer->Lock(0, // byte offset
|
|
GetByteSize(indices), // byte size
|
|
&data, // receiving data pointer
|
|
0); // special lock flag
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return nullptr;
|
|
// Copy the index data and unlock after copying.
|
|
memcpy(data, indices.data(), GetByteSize(indices));
|
|
buffer->Unlock();
|
|
// Return the filled index buffer.
|
|
return buffer;
|
|
}
|
|
// ...
|
|
// In our WinMain we can now change the vertex data and create new index data.
|
|
// ...
|
|
std::vector<VStruct> vertices {
|
|
VStruct{ -1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f } },
|
|
VStruct{ -1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f } },
|
|
VStruct{ 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f } },
|
|
// Add a vertex for the bottom right.
|
|
VStruct{ 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, D3DXCOLOR{ 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f } }
|
|
};
|
|
// Declare the index data, here we build a rectangle from two triangles.
|
|
std::vector<unsigned int> indices {
|
|
0, 1, 2, // the first triangle (b,left -> t,left -> t,right)
|
|
0, 2, 3 // the second triangle (b,left -> t,right -> b,right)
|
|
};
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Now we call the "CreateIBuffer" function to create a index buffer.
|
|
// ...
|
|
if (!(_indexBuffer = CreateIBuffer(indices)))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// ...
|
|
// After binding the vertex buffer we have to bind the index buffer to
|
|
// use indexed rendering.
|
|
result = _device->SetStreamSource(0, _vertexBuffer.Get(), 0, sizeof(VStruct));
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Bind the index data to the default data stream.
|
|
result = _device->SetIndices(_indexBuffer.Get())
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// ...
|
|
// Now we replace the "DrawPrimitive" function with an indexed version.
|
|
_device->DrawIndexedPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLELIST, // primitive type
|
|
0, // base vertex index
|
|
0, // minimum index
|
|
indices.size(), // amount of vertices
|
|
0, // start in index buffer
|
|
2); // primitive count
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you should see a colored rectangle made up of 2 triangles. If you set the primitive count in the "DrawIndexedPrimitive" method to 1 only the first triangle should be rendered and if you set the start of the index buffer to 3 and the primitive count to 1 only the second triangle should be rendered.<br>

## Vertex declaration
|
|
|
|
Instead of using the old "flexible vertex format" we should use vertex declarations instead, as the FVF declarations get converted to vertex declarations internally anyway.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// First we have to REMOVE the following lines:
|
|
const unsigned long VertexStructFVF = D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE;
|
|
// and
|
|
_device->SetFVF(VertexStructFVF);
|
|
// ...
|
|
// We also have to change the vertex buffer creation FVF-flag.
|
|
result = _device->CreateVertexBuffer(
|
|
GetByteSize(vertices),
|
|
0,
|
|
0, // <- 0 indicates we use vertex declarations
|
|
D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,
|
|
&buffer,
|
|
nullptr);
|
|
// Next we have to declare a new ComPtr.
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DVertexDeclaration9> _vertexDecl{ };
|
|
// ...
|
|
result = _device->SetIndices(_indexBuffer.Get());
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Now we have to declare and apply the vertex declaration.
|
|
// Create a vector of vertex elements making up the vertex declaration.
|
|
std::vector<D3DVERTEXELEMENT9> vertexDeclDesc {
|
|
{ 0, // stream index
|
|
0, // byte offset from the struct beginning
|
|
D3DDECLTYPE_FLOAT3, // data type (3d float vector)
|
|
D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT, // tessellator operation
|
|
D3DDECLUSAGE_POSITION, // usage of the data
|
|
0 }, // index (multiples usage of the same type)
|
|
{ 0,
|
|
12, // byte offset (3 * sizeof(float) bytes)
|
|
D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR,
|
|
D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT,
|
|
D3DDECLUSAGE_COLOR,
|
|
0 },
|
|
D3DDECL_END() // marks the end of the vertex declaration
|
|
};
|
|
// After having defined the vector we can create a vertex declaration from it.
|
|
result = _device->CreateVertexDeclaration(
|
|
vertexDeclDesc.data(), // the vertex element array
|
|
&_vertexDecl); // receiving pointer
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Apply the created vertex declaration.
|
|
_device->SetVertexDeclaration(_vertexDecl.Get());
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Shader
|
|
|
|
The maximum shader model for Direct3D 9 is shader model 3.0. Even though every modern graphics card should support it, it is best to check for capabilities.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// ...
|
|
_device->SetVertexDeclaration(_vertexDecl.Get());
|
|
// First we have to request the device capabilities.
|
|
D3DCAPS9 deviceCaps{ };
|
|
_device->GetDeviceCaps(&deviceCaps);
|
|
// Now we check if shader model 3.0 is supported for the vertex shader.
|
|
if (deviceCaps.VertexShaderVersion < D3DVS_VERSION(3, 0))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// And the same for the pixel shader.
|
|
if (deviceCaps.PixelShaderVersion < D3DPS_VERSION(3, 0))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now that we are sure shader model 3.0 is supported let's create the vertex and pixel shader files.
|
|
DirectX 9 introduced the HLSL (**High Level Shading Language**), a C-like shader language, which
|
|
simplified the shader programming a lot, as you could only write shaders in shader assembly in DirectX 8.
|
|
Let's create a simple vertex- and pixel shader.
|
|
|
|
**Vertex Shader**
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// 3 4x4 float matrices representing the matrices we set in the fixed-function
|
|
// pipeline by using the SetTransform() method.
|
|
float4x4 projectionMatrix;
|
|
float4x4 viewMatrix;
|
|
float4x4 worldMatrix;
|
|
// The input struct to the vertex shader.
|
|
// It holds a 3d float vector for the position and a 4d float vector
|
|
// for the color.
|
|
struct VS_INPUT {
|
|
float3 position : POSITION;
|
|
float4 color : COLOR;
|
|
};
|
|
// The output struct of the vertex shader, that is passed to the pixel shader.
|
|
struct VS_OUTPUT {
|
|
float4 position : POSITION;
|
|
float4 color : COLOR;
|
|
};
|
|
// The main function of the vertex shader returns the output it sends to the
|
|
// pixel shader and receives it's input as a parameter.
|
|
VS_OUTPUT main(VS_INPUT input) {
|
|
// Declare a empty struct, that the vertex shader returns.
|
|
VS_OUTPUT output;
|
|
// Set the output position to the input position and set
|
|
// the w-component to 1, as the input position is a 3d vector and
|
|
// the output position a 4d vector.
|
|
output.position = float4(input.position, 1.0f);
|
|
// Multiply the output position step by step with the world, view and
|
|
// projection matrices.
|
|
output.position = mul(output.position, worldMatrix);
|
|
output.position = mul(output.position, viewMatrix);
|
|
output.position = mul(output.position, projectionMatrix);
|
|
// Pass the input color unchanged to the pixel shader.
|
|
output.color = input.color;
|
|
// Return the output struct to the pixel shader.
|
|
// The position value is automatically used as the vertex position.
|
|
return output;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pixel Shader**
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// The pixel shader input struct must be the same as the vertex shader output!
|
|
struct PS_INPUT {
|
|
float4 position : POSITION;
|
|
float4 color : COLOR;
|
|
};
|
|
// The pixel shader simply returns a 4d vector representing the vertex color.
|
|
// It receives it's input as a parameter just like the vertex shader.
|
|
// We have to declare the output semantic as color to it gets interpreted
|
|
// correctly.
|
|
float4 main(PS_INPUT input) : COLOR {
|
|
return input.color;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Now we have to do quite some changes to the code.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DDevice9> _device{ };
|

|
|
// for the constants (matrices) in our vertex shader.
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DVertexShader9> _vertexShader{ };
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DPixelShader9> _pixelShader{ };
|
|
ComPtr<ID3DXConstantTable> _vertexTable{ };
|
|
// Declare the world and rotation matrix as global, because we use them in
|
|
// WinMain and SetupTransform now.
|
|
D3DXMATRIX _worldMatrix{ };
|
|
D3DXMATRIX _rotationMatrix{ };
|
|
// ...
|
|
bool SetupTransform() {
|
|
// Set the world and rotation matrix to an identity matrix.
|
|
D3DXMatrixIdentity(&_worldMatrix);
|
|
D3DXMatrixIdentity(&_rotationMatrix);
|
|
|
|
D3DXMATRIX scaling{ };
|
|
D3DXMatrixScaling(&scaling, 10, 10, 1);
|
|
D3DXMatrixMultiply(&_worldMatrix, &scaling, &_rotationMatrix);
|
|
// After multiplying the scalation and rotation matrix the have to pass
|
|
// them to the shader, by using a method from the constant table
|
|
// of the vertex shader.
|
|
HRESULT result{ };
|
|
result = _vertexTable->SetMatrix(
|

|
|
if (FAILED(result))

return false;
|
|

result = _vertexTable->SetMatrix(

if (FAILED(result))

return false;
|

D3DXMatrixRotationY(&_rotationMatrix, D3DXToRadian(0.5f));

|
## Texturing
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// First we need to declare a ComPtr for the texture.
|
|
ComPtr<IDirect3DTexture9> _texture{ };
|
|
// Then we have to change the vertex struct.
|
|
struct VStruct {
|
|
float x, y, z;
|
|
float u, v; // Add texture u and v coordinates
|
|
D3DCOLOR color;
|
|
};
|
|
// In the vertex declaration we have to add the texture coordinates.
|
|
// the top left of the texture is u: 0, v: 0.
|
|
std::vector<VStruct> vertices {
|
|
VStruct{ -1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, ... }, // bottom left
|
|
VStruct{ -1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, ... }, // top left
|
|
VStruct{ 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, ... }, // top right
|
|
VStruct{ 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, ... } // bottom right
|
|
};
|
|
// Next is the vertex declaration.
|
|
std::vector<D3DVERTEXELEMENT9> vertexDecl{
|
|
{0, 0, D3DDECLTYPE_FLOAT3, D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT, D3DDECLUSAGE_POSITION, 0},
|
|
// Add a 2d float vector used for texture coordinates.
|
|
{0, 12, D3DDECLTYPE_FLOAT2, D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT, D3DDECLUSAGE_TEXCOORD, 0},
|
|
// The color offset is not (3 + 2) * sizeof(float) = 20 bytes
|
|
{0, 20, D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR, D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT, D3DDECLUSAGE_COLOR, 0},
|
|
D3DDECL_END()
|
|
};
|
|
// Now we have to load the texture and pass its to the shader.
|
|
// ...
|
|
_device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_NONE);
|
|
// Create a Direct3D texture from a png file.
|
|
result = D3DXCreateTextureFromFile(_device.Get(), // direct3d device
|
|
"texture.png", // texture path
|
|
&_texture); // receiving texture pointer
|
|
if (FAILED(result))
|
|
return -1;
|
|
// Attach the texture to shader stage 0, which is equal to texture register 0
|
|
// in the pixel shader.
|
|
_device->SetTexture(0, _texture.Get());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With the main code ready we now have to adjust the shaders to these changes.
|
|
|
|
**Vertex Shader**
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
float4x4 projectionMatrix;
|
|
float4x4 viewMatrix;
|
|
float4x4 worldMatrix;
|
|
// Add the texture coordinates to the vertex shader in- and output.
|
|
struct VS_INPUT {
|
|
float3 position : POSITION;
|
|
float2 texcoord : TEXCOORD;
|
|
float4 color : COLOR;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
struct VS_OUTPUT {
|
|
float4 position : POSITION;
|
|
float2 texcoord : TEXCOORD;
|
|
float4 color : COLOR;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
VS_OUTPUT main(VS_INPUT input) {
|
|
VS_OUTPUT output;
|
|
|
|
output.position = float4(input.position, 1.0f);
|
|
output.position = mul(output.position, worldMatrix);
|
|
output.position = mul(output.position, viewMatrix);
|
|
output.position = mul(output.position, projectionMatrix);
|
|
|
|
output.color = input.color;
|
|
// Set the texcoord output to the input.
|
|
output.texcoord = input.texcoord;
|
|
|
|
return output;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pixel Shader**
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Create a sampler called "sam0" using sampler register 0, which is equal
|
|
// to the texture stage 0, to which we passed the texture.
|
|
sampler sam0 : register(s0);
|
|
|
|
struct PS_INPUT {
|
|
float4 position : POSITION;
|
|
float2 texcoord : TEXCOORD;
|
|
float4 color : COLOR;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
float4 main(PS_INPUT input) : COLOR{
|
|
// Do a linear interpolation between the texture color and the input color
|
|
// using 75% of the input color.
|
|
// tex2D returns the texture data at the specified texture coordinate.
|
|
return lerp(tex2D(sam0, input.texcoord), input.color, 0.75f);
|
|
}
|
|
```
