Study Notes

DirectX: Camera

DirectX renders triangles defined in homogenous coordinates (NDC). Adjust code to render triangles in world space.
Vertices need transformation to projection space (before perspective divide) before rasterization. DirectX handles this automatically.
Create a WorldViewProjection matrix, pass it to the shader, and apply transformation to every vertex after the vertex shader stage.
Create a camera class with functions: GetViewMatrix() and GetProjectionMatrix().
Implement Matrix::CreateLookAtLH and Matrix::CreatePerspectiveFovLH functions for matrix creation.
Use a DX11Effect framework for predefined types to simplify development.
Update the shader with a global variable for WorldViewProjection matrices.

DirectX: Camera (Continued)

Use Constant Buffer Views (ID3D11Buffer - CBuffer and TBuffer), Unordered Access Views (UAVs - ID3D11UnorderedAccessView), and Shader Resource Views (SRVs - ID3D11ShaderResourceView`) to transfer matrices from the CPU to the GPU.
Update shader data in each frame using the SetMatrix(...) function.

DirectX: Textures

Upgrade triangles to quads for texture preview. Update vertex structure to include UV coordinates (TEXCOORD).
Update vertex input layout to include additional elements (UV).
Load textures using IMG_Load. Create DirectX resources and resource views for the texture when it's loaded (only once).
Free the SDL_Surface after pushing data to the texture resource.
Provide a getter function in the texture class to retrieve the ID3D11ShaderResourceView.
Code example for creating a texture and a shader resource view are provided.

DirectX: Textures (Continued)

Textures in DirectX can have mipmaps (sequences of progressively lower-resolution representations).
Mipmapping improves quality but increases memory usage.
Textures are created in DirectX and different types of textures exist (1D, 2D, Cube, and 3D). They are analogous to arrays.
Update the shader to accept a Texture2D shader resource view.
Create a shader resource variable for the texture using the Effect Framework.
Bind the shader resource view to the corresponding ID3D11ShaderResourceView using SetResource.
Release resources and resource views in the destructor as a good practice.

DirectX: Textures (Continued)

Use a SamplerState to define how samples are handled in the shader. A SamplerState struct contains multiple settings.
Define SamplerState in the HLSL by using Sampler2D samPoint/Linear/Anisotropic.
Update the shader and shader variables to utilize the sampler.
Implement SamplerStates for Point, Linear, and Anisotropic filtering, and make this selectable using the 'F2' key.
Re-use calculations in the pixel shader and create separate functions for each sample method.
Use techniques instead of recalculation when toggling between techniques and allow modification in C++.

DirectX: Mesh

Load the vehicle mesh and diffuse texture from previous weeks to render a model in 3D.
Disable normal/tangent parsing for the current task.
Use vertex and index buffers for rendering. Use vertex input layout with Position and Texture coordinates (UV).
