I see meshes everywhere!

Huzza!! I did it!

I have learned how to create a mesh from .x file format! – now I only need to apply picking and I am good to go!

void ObjectClass::Render()
{
m_meshInstance.Render();
}

usage is really simple:

in our main program class game/application/app you name it.

we need to add include

1	#include "ObjectClass.h"

then in Init method for your program place

1	LoadObjectResources(m_pDevice);

it is loading resources do our device.

to add object call

AddObject(0, INTPOINT(x, y)); //objec one
else if(m_pHeightMap->GetHeight(x, y) >= 1.0f && hm3.GetHeight(x, y) > 0.9f && rand()%20 == 0)
AddObject(1, INTPOINT(x, y)); //object two

I am calling it in terrain class.

D3DXVECTOR3 rot = D3DXVECTOR3((rand()%1000 / 1000.0f) * 0.13f, (rand()%1000 / 1000.0f) * 3.0f, (rand()%1000 / 1000.0f) * 0.13f);

float sca_xz = (rand()%1000 / 1000.0f) * 0.5f + 0.5f;
float sca_y = (rand()%1000 / 1000.0f) * 1.0f + 0.5f;
D3DXVECTOR3 sca = D3DXVECTOR3(sca_xz, sca_y, sca_xz);

m_objects.push_back(ObjectClass(type, pos, rot, sca));
}

Tomorrows plans.. picking!!
and come on! 374 FPS ain’t bad!

I just started learn a DirectX Api so this post was very helpful, thanks ; )
But, why your mesh can have several materials? I thought that mesh is a single part of the model and whenever I wrote engine or game then in class-hierarchy i used it as single-part.

  well my understanding of mesh is pretty much likethat.
  so the mesh is a shape.. in my case this is a tree/stone.
  graphics programs like maya/3ds max can apply more than one material to the mesh – to get pretty nice and advanced visual effects.

I see.
So, I’m waiting for some posts about HLSL(have hope that he is similar to GLSL .

  I am waiting for it as well – currently I am learning it.

Deep Beta

That's the way the cookie crumbles
