5 months, 2 days ago legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com — Resource management can be a challenge for Direct3D applications. Before DirectX, display adapters had limited amounts of fast device memory and programmers had to manage that memory manually in order to achieve the best performance. The Direct3D API provides different memory pools to allow the application to specify the lifetime management policy of a resource. read more...

8 months, 2 days ago legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com — In Direct3D 10, a number of device render states were aggregated into immutable objects. These immutable objects simplify state management on the device for the runtime and the driver, making it quicker to switch between state configurations on the device. These immutable state objects are created by filling in a description structure and creating the object. This mechanism is present in Direct3D 10.1 and Direct3D 11 as well. In this post, I will discuss some helper classes for constructing these state objects in a manner that more clearly reveals your intention. read more...
