Questions tagged [direct3d10]

Version 10 of Microsoft's API for 3D Graphics at the heart of DirectX 10. It was introduced with Windows 7. For Direct3D questions related to windows 10, use the more recent Direct3d12.

Direct3D is Microsoft's API for the rendering of 2D and 3D Graphics within the DirectX.

Direct3D10 corresponds to the version 10 introduced with Windows 7. Windows XP does not support it.

Originally called WGF 2.0 (Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0), then DirectX 10 and DirectX Next, Direct3D 10 features an updated shader model 4.0 and optional interruptibility for shader programs. In this model shaders still consist of fixed stages as on previous versions, but all stages support a nearly unified interface, as well as a unified access paradigm for resources such as textures and shader constants. The language itself has been extended to be more expressive, including integer operations, a greatly increased instruction count, and more C-like language constructs. In addition to the previously available vertex and pixel shader stages, the API includes a geometry shader stage that breaks the old model of one vertex in/one vertex out, to allow geometry to actually be generated from within a shader, allowing for complex geometry to be generated entirely on the graphics hardware.

Detecting memory leaks on Ref-counted COM objects (Addref without Release)

I'm writing a Direct3D 10 application and want to make sure I don't have COM objects leaking. Yes, I am wrapping the interfaces with CComPtr, but I'd like a leak check anyway for the same reason I still use an ordinary heap allocation leak detector…

How do I rework an existing Direct2D-based library to function accessed from multiple threads at once?

I am using an existing graphics library, one implementation of which uses Direct2D. (It can also use GDI+, Quartz, etc.) It has bitmap objects, pens, brushes etc, all implemented as wrapper code around Direct2D objects. The library is closed source…

direct3D 10 & 11

Is there a big difference (in the way of coding, ...) between the direct3d sdk 10 and 11, like "it was" between direct3d 9 and 10 ? Thank you

How to draw a bitmap to Direct3D backbuffer more efficiently?

As far I know, with Direct3D 10 there are 2 ways to draw a bitmap on to the back-buffer: lock the back-buffer's surface, copy the bitmap to the surface, unlock the surface. lock a texture, copy the bitmap to the texture, unlock the texture, and let…
