Irrlicht future, DirectX11 / Metro

[Granyte]

Well the old driver is 90% functional and i ported it to 1.8.0 in half an hour but the shader pipeline is giving me headhaches

Hello, i started this thread.
Any update on a status of direct3d11 porting?
Granyte, could i have accesso to the source code? 90% functional could be well enough.

Thank you!

i posted my lastes update here
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... &start=225

But i think Zero made some progress on top of it after i posted

as far as i can think the only 3 thing odd left in this version of the driver are
text is always rendered white
occlusion Querry won't return thier value properly
and lightmanager won't work

The light managers are very useful, they are worth the effort of updating them to the DX11 driver

[Granyte]

well i didnot work on them because zerochen said he had them working but never posted his sources maybe he got busy integrating the lastes changes i made

[zerochen]

sry i'm really busy right now. i think i have more time next week...

to fix the light thing change in CD3D11FixedFunctionMaterialRenderer.h in function
CD3D11FixedFunctionMaterialRenderer::OnRender(...) the light settings to this:

Code: Select all

    
....    
                int n = CurrentMaterial.Lighting ? Driver->getDynamicLightCount() : 0;
        EnableLightning->SetBool( n > 0 );
        LightCount->SetInt(n);
        if (n)
        {
            SCENE_LIGHT* lights = new SCENE_LIGHT[n];       
            ZeroMemory( lights, n*sizeof(SCENE_LIGHT) );
            for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
            {
                SCENE_LIGHT& l = lights[i];
                SLight dl = Driver->getDynamicLight(i);
                dl.Position.getAs4Values(l.Position);
                l.Ambient = D3DXVECTOR4(dl.AmbientColor.r, dl.AmbientColor.g, dl.AmbientColor.b,0);
                l.Diffuse = D3DXVECTOR4(dl.DiffuseColor.r, dl.DiffuseColor.g, dl.DiffuseColor.b,0);
                l.Specular = D3DXVECTOR4(dl.SpecularColor.r, dl.SpecularColor.g, dl.SpecularColor.b,0);
                l.Atten = D3DXVECTOR4(dl.Attenuation.X, dl.Attenuation.Y, dl.Attenuation.Z, 0);
            }
            SceneLights->SetRawValue( lights, 0, n*sizeof(SCENE_LIGHT) );
 
            delete[] lights;
        }
...
 

hope that was the only issue.
