Depth of Field ...

Wow! What a complex shader, nice work sio2!

[Halan]

hey sio2 your demo works fine

but when trying to run this in my split screen (i commented out startscene, endscene and guidraw) with this code i get a black scree:

Code: Select all

    //Splitscreen Render
    dimension2d<s32> screensize = driver->getScreenSize();
    driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(255, 100, 200, 100));
    smgr->setActiveCamera(p1.camera);
    driver->setViewPort(rect<s32>(0, 0, screensize.Width, screensize.Height/2));
    hdr->render();
    smgr->setActiveCamera(p2.camera);
    driver->setViewPort(rect<s32>(0, screensize.Height/2, screensize.Width, screensize.Height));
    hdr->render();
    guienv->drawAll();
    driver->endScene();

greets,
halan

ps: again the demo works and posttools version was black too so ithink its my fault

[Halan]

update: i added a light and now the scene is visible but the viewport is ignored

any ideas?

[sio2]

Have you run it via PIX to see what's going on?

ISTR That a DX9 API SetRenderTarget() call resets the viewport...

[Halan]

what is PIX?

well ive been messing around with the code for a bit tried just to add setViewPort after each setRenderTarget() but if i do that only the second cam is rendered on a quarter of the screen... ive really no idea how to acieve this

greets,
halan

btw: im using posttools class atm because his blur looks someway smoother

[sio2]

PIX is a 3D debugger that comes with the DirectX SDK.

[Halan]

well how should i test splitscreen with it?

Hi Sio. When i try to run your demo with directx9.0c i get the error messages:
Could not load shader function D3DXAssembleShader from dll, shader disabled: d3dx9_31.dll

and

Could not load shader function D3DXCompileShader from dll, shader disabled: d3x9_31.dll

My System is XP-Pro Service Pack2. My graphics card a ATI mobility radeon x700.

I have the same result with an XP-Pro and a ATI X800GTO.
With both setups i just see the level as a cube from the outside.

Any idea what is wrong ??

You need at least the dx9 dll with version 31, or newer. Or you have to recompile Irrlicht using an older DirectX SDK. The dlls are only backward compatible (well, at least they refuse to work in the other direction). This only affects d3dx functions, which are right now only the shader compilers.

where can i get this never dx 9 version ? At Microsoft the latest package is dx 9.0c which i have already installed

[hybrid]

No, that's only the major release number. You have to grab the lastest SDK which has a quarterly update scheme or so.

www.dll-files.com has most of those DirectX files in single downloads - far better than downloading the whole SDK each time.
