This repository contains the up-to-date companion source code for my book Direct3D Rendering Cookbook published in January 2014 by Packt Publishing.

Any questions or issues can be posted in the issues

To build all projects:

1. open the relevant solution,
2. right-click the root node within the Solution Explorer and select Rebuild Solution.

NOTE: If for some reason the MeshContentTask build target does not function correctly for you, the compiled assets are available separately from OneDrive, they just need to be copied to the correct build location.

  • NOTE: the textures for the CryTek Sponza scene can be downloaded from the CryTek CryENGINE 3 downloads page or directly here. These should then be placed into the directory: .\Ch10_01DeferredRendering\textures

    The project will also compile and render without these textures

• Direct3D SwapChainPanel Windows Store app

  .\Ch11_02HelloSwapChainPanel\

• Loading resources asynchronously

  .\Ch11_03CreatingResourcesAsync\

  • NOTE: If you do not see the model, clean and rebuild the project again. This is because the .cmo file does not yet exist the first time you build. Cleaning and building again will correctly add the model to the Windows Store apps' AppX package.
