Hi, guys, I know it's easy to copy vertex/index buffer in D3D10 with IDirect3D10::CopyResource(...) interface.
How to do the same work in D3D9? Is there any similar API for this?

I've been playing around with it for a while and now I am learning the basics of HLSL shaders, I have noticed in the MSDN documentation that there have been some syntax changes in HLSL between DirectX…

I want to do projects to make my resume more appealing to game companies. So I am going to start buying books. But I don't know rather to read DirectX 9 or 10 api books to start off with. DirectX10 is great, but it seems the industry is moving slow to 10. so should I use 9 or go with 10 ??

And as much as I would like to avoid this section, I am afraid it might screw up the entire engine he is trying…

I've got an application written in D3D9 which will not write any values to the depth buffer, resulting in incorrect values for the depth test. Things I've checked so far:
D3DRS_ZENABLE, set to TRUE
D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, set to TRUE
D3DRS_ZFUNC, set to D3DCMP_LESSEQUAL
The depth buffer is definitely…

Let's say in a deferred renderer when building your G-Buffer you're going to render texture color, normals, depth and whatever else to your multiple render targets at once.
Now if you want to have a gamma-correct rendering pipeline and you use regular sRGB textures as well as rendertargets, you'll…

On top of the rectangle I have a text that is totally…
