64-bit DirectX 11 - Part 2 - Mesh

Producing vertices, as we did in the previous example, works fine for simple objects like cubes, however for sophisticated objects we will uses meshes. Meshes can be obtained from 3d modelling programs, such as Blender (or others).
All right, I am not a gamer, some people here may know a lot about this, all I am doing is experimenting.

This is a wireframed rotating car.

There is a similar sample, which is obtained by simply changing the _vertices.inc. However, it is too big to post here due to the huge number of vertices, so I am uploading it to my website.

Say you, Say me, Say the codes together for ever.

Creative coders use backward thinking techniques as a strategy.

Thank you for the comments!  :biggrin:
My next DX endeavour will be to find out how to output text to the screen. It appears that is something not as easy as we would expect it to be. Let me take a long breath and start thinking about it.

Siekmanski

It can be done like this,

Create a texture bitmap with the font characters in ascii order for fast and easy access.
Fill an index and vertex buffer ( 2D trianglelist mode ) with the texture coords and screen positions of the characters in the text string you want to draw.
Then you can draw the text string with only one call.
The text routine in my D3D9 examples are done this way.
Creative coders use backward thinking techniques as a strategy.

Thank you Marinus  :t
However, I don't know if this will work for what I have in mind, show the fps in the left top corner.

Siekmanski

Yes it can be done, see attachment.

Here are the draw_text and texture_loader sources from my D3D9extra.lib

Here is the the font bitmap used in the text routine,



An example using the text routine.

Yes it can be done, see attachment.

Thank you.  :t
It looks different than the general approach which is a real mess to my eyes.

I have to make sense of all this (may take a while).  :biggrin:

Siekmanski it doesn't work on my system. Is there a requirement before running the program? Thanks.  :idea:

MsgBox "XInput dll not found" - but then it shows the helicopter at 68fps. The text quality is not so impressive, though.

Hi Felipe,

The sources are part of my library and are only the routines for drawing text to the screen.

Hi Jochen,

I better had posted an other example to show the text example, this one was a testbed for an Xbox game controller. ( forgot it was not finished, this is why the message XInput.dll came up )

The quality of the text font is not great but very small ( 2 colors, 128 * 128 pixels ), I only use it for debugging.
For release applications I use multi colored very cool fonts using the exact same text routine.

I guessed so ;)

Sorry for offtopic but anyone here knows about how directx born? I remember that one magazine said about "ufo 2" game, that microsoft buy that company or program, something like this. After they created directx. I'm asking because new versions of game ufo are update, so I think can be fake old news. Not sure.
Again, maybe I'm wrong but video cards sounds that have better processors than pc processors. Well, these guys come from Amiga world.
I'd rather be this ambulant metamorphosis than to have that old opinion about everything

This is a funny community.  :bgrin:

I shelved my DX11 project a few weeks back through lack of community interest.

This is where I left it.
