DirectX 2D Sprite Texture - directx

Im trying to make directx display a sprite from a sprite sheet I found on the internet but it doesn't seem to be displaying the texture in the correct position as im specifying it.
D3DXVECTOR2 scaling = D3DXVECTOR2(1.0,1.0);
D3DXVECTOR2 center = D3DXVECTOR2(64,64);
D3DXMatrixTransformation2D(&mat,NULL,0.0,&scaling,NULL,rot,&position);
sprite->SetTransform(&mat);
sprite->Draw(zombieTexture,&srcRect,NULL,NULL,0xFFFFFFFF);
srcRect is defined as follows:
srcRect.top = 384;
srcRect.bottom = 512;
srcRect.left = 512;
srcRect.right = 640;
which should give the part of the texture like this http://i.imgur.com/hqv5I.png
But instead im getting this http://i.imgur.com/UkOCQ.png (ignore the rotation)
What am I doing wrong?

(DX12 Shadow Mapping) Depth buffer is always filled with 1

I'm really new to graphics programming in general, so please bear with me. I am trying to add shadow mapping from a distant light (orthogonal projection) into my scene, but when I follow the (very incomplete) steps from Frank Luna's DX12 book I find that my SRV for the shadow map is just filled with depths of 1.
If it helps, here is my SRV definition:
D3D12_TEX2D_SRV texDesc = {
0,
-1,
0,
0.0f
};
D3D12_SHADER_RESOURCE_VIEW_DESC srvDesc = {
DXGI_FORMAT_R32_TYPELESS,
D3D12_SRV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D,
D3D12_DEFAULT_SHADER_4_COMPONENT_MAPPING,
};
srvDesc.Texture2D = texDesc;
m_device->CreateShaderResourceView(m_lightDepthTexture.Get(),&srvDesc, m_cbvHeap->GetCPUDescriptorHandleForHeapStart());
and here are my DSV heap and descriptor definitions:
D3D12_DESCRIPTOR_HEAP_DESC dsvHeapDesc = {};
dsvHeapDesc.NumDescriptors = 2;
dsvHeapDesc.Type = D3D12_DESCRIPTOR_HEAP_TYPE_DSV;
dsvHeapDesc.Flags = D3D12_DESCRIPTOR_HEAP_FLAG_NONE;
ThrowIfFailed(m_device->CreateDescriptorHeap(&dsvHeapDesc, IID_PPV_ARGS(&m_dsvHeap)));
D3D12_DEPTH_STENCIL_VIEW_DESC depthStencilDesc = {};
depthStencilDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT;
depthStencilDesc.ViewDimension = D3D12_DSV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
depthStencilDesc.Flags = D3D12_DSV_FLAG_NONE;
CD3DX12_HEAP_PROPERTIES heapProps = CD3DX12_HEAP_PROPERTIES(D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT);
CD3DX12_RESOURCE_DESC resourceDesc = CD3DX12_RESOURCE_DESC::Tex2D(DXGI_FORMAT_R32_TYPELESS, m_width, m_height, 1, 0, 1, 0, D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_DEPTH_STENCIL);
D3D12_CLEAR_VALUE depthOptimizedClearValue = {};
depthOptimizedClearValue.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT;
depthOptimizedClearValue.DepthStencil.Depth = 1.0f;
depthOptimizedClearValue.DepthStencil.Stencil = 0;
ThrowIfFailed(m_device->CreateCommittedResource(
&heapProps,
D3D12_HEAP_FLAG_NONE,
&resourceDesc,
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_DEPTH_WRITE,
&depthOptimizedClearValue,
IID_PPV_ARGS(&m_dsvBuffer)
));
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC texDesc;
ZeroMemory(&texDesc, sizeof(D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC));
texDesc.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
texDesc.Alignment = 0;
texDesc.Width = m_width;
texDesc.Height = m_height;
texDesc.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
texDesc.MipLevels = 1;
texDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R32_TYPELESS;
texDesc.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
texDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
texDesc.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_UNKNOWN;
texDesc.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_DEPTH_STENCIL;
ThrowIfFailed(m_device->CreateCommittedResource(
&heapProps,
D3D12_HEAP_FLAG_NONE,
&texDesc,
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ,
&depthOptimizedClearValue,
IID_PPV_ARGS(&m_lightDepthTexture)
));
CD3DX12_CPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE dsv(m_dsvHeap->GetCPUDescriptorHandleForHeapStart());
m_device->CreateDepthStencilView(m_dsvBuffer.Get(), &depthStencilDesc, dsv);
dsv.Offset(1, m_device->GetDescriptorHandleIncrementSize(D3D12_DESCRIPTOR_HEAP_TYPE_DSV));
m_device->CreateDepthStencilView(m_lightDepthTexture.Get(), &depthStencilDesc, dsv);
I then created a basic vertex shader that just transforms the vertices with my map (from Frank Luna's book, page 648,650). Since I bound the m_lightDepthTexture to D3D12GraphicsCommandList::OMSetRenderTargets, I assumed that the depth values would be written onto m_lightDepthTexture. But simply sampling this texture in my main pass proves that the values are actually 1.0f. So nothing actually happened on my shadow pass!
I really have no idea what to ask, but if anyone has a sample DX12 shadow map I could see (Google comes up with DX11 or less, or much too complicated samples), or if there's a good source to learn about this, please let me know!
EDIT: I should say that I changed the format from DXGI_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT, as I think the extra 8 bits for stencil is irrelevant to my case. I changed back to the book format and nothing changed, so I think this format should be fine.
If you remove the unecessary return ret; from your shadow vertex shader, the problem then seems to be in winding order of vertices of your sphere. You can easily verify this by setting cull mode to D3D12_CULL_MODE_NONE for your shadow PSO.
You can easily correct your sphere winding order by switching order of any two vertices of every triangle, so wherever you have p1,p2,p3 you just write it for example as p1,p3,p2.
You will also need to check your matrix multiplication order in your vertex shaders, I didn't checked it in detail but it's inconsistent and I believe the cause why the sphere will appear black when you fix the above issue. You also seem to be missing division by w for your light coords in lighting vertex shader.

iOS Metal: Jaggies Anit-aliasing

I was trying to draw a half circle with renderEncoder's drawIndexedPrimitives
[renderEncoder setVertexBuffer:self.vertexBuffer offset:0 atIndex:0];
[renderEncoder drawIndexedPrimitives:MTLPrimitiveTypeTriangleStrip
indexCount:self.indexCount
indexType:MTLIndexTypeUInt16
indexBuffer:self.indicesBuffer
indexBufferOffset:0];
where the vertexBuffer and indicesBuffer for the circle were created by calculation
int segments = 10;
float vertices02[ (segments +1)* (3+4)];
vertices02[0] = centerX;
vertices02[1] = centerY;
vertices02[2] = 0;
//3, 4, 5, 6 are RGBA
vertices02[3] = 1.0;
vertices02[4] = 0;
vertices02[5] = 0.0;
vertices02[6] = 1.0;
uint16_t indices[(segments -1)*3];
for (int i = 1; i <= segments ; i++){
float degree = (i -1) * (endDegree - startDegree)/ (segments -1) + startDegree;
vertices02[i*7] = (centerX + cos([self degreesToRadians:degree])*radius);
vertices02[i*7 +1] = (centerY + sin([self degreesToRadians:degree])*radius);
vertices02[i*7 +2] = 0;
vertices02[i*7 +3] = 1.0;
vertices02[i*7 +4] = 0;
vertices02[i*7 +5] = 0.0;
vertices02[i*7 +6] = 1.0;
if (i < segments){
indices[(i-1)*3 + 0] = 0;
indices[(i-1)*3 + 1] = i;
indices[(i-1)*3 + 2] = i+1;
}
}
So I am combining 9 Triangle to form a 180 degree circle.
Then create vertexBuffer and indicesBuffer
self.vertexBuffer = [device newBufferWithBytes:vertexArrayPtr
length:vertexDataSize
options:MTLResourceOptionCPUCacheModeDefault];
self.indicesBuffer = [device newBufferWithBytes:indexArrayPtr
length:indicesDataSize
options:MTLResourceOptionCPUCacheModeDefault];
The result is like this:
I believe this is Anti-Aliasing problem from Metal of iOS. I used to create half circle in OpenGL using same technique but the edges was much smoother.
Any suggestions to tackle the problem?
Suggested by warrenm, I should set the CAMetalLayer's drawableSize equals screenSize x scale. There are improvements:
Another Suggestion by warrenm, using MTKView and setting sampleCount = 4 solved the problem:
There are a couple of things to consider here. First, you need to ensure that (when possible) the size of the grid you're rasterizing to matches the resolution of the display it will be viewed on. Second, you might need to use subpixel techniques to eke out additional smoothness, since raster techniques tend to undersample continuous functions.
In Metal, the way we match the rendered image size to the display is by ensuring that the drawable size of the Metal layer matches the pixel dimensions it will occupy on the screen. When using CAMetalLayer directly, the default behavior is for the drawable size of the layer to be the size of the layer's bounds multiplied by the layer's contentsScale property. Setting the latter to the scale of the UIScreen onto which the layer is composited will match the layer's dimensions to the screen's pixels (ignoring other transformations that might be applied to the layer or its view hierarchy).
When using MTKView, the autoResizeDrawable property determines whether the view automatically manages its layer's drawable size. This is the default behavior, but if you set this property to NO, you can manually set the drawable size to something else (e.g., use adaptive resolution rendering when fragment-bound).
In order to sample more finely, we have our choice among any number of antialiasing techniques, but perhaps the easiest of these is multisampled antialiasing (MSAA), a hardware feature that—as the name suggests—takes multiple samples for each pixel along the edges of primitives, in order to reduce the jagged effects of aliasing.
In Metal, using MSAA requires setting multisampling state (i.e., the sample count) on both the render pipeline state and the textures used for rendering. MSAA is a two-step process, where a render target that can hold the data for multiple fragments per pixel is rendered to, then a resolve step combines these samples into the final color for each pixel. When using CAMetalLayer (or drawing off-screen), you must create a texture of type MTLTextureType2DMultisample for each active color/depth attachment. These textures are configured as the texture property of their respective color/depth attachments, and the resolveTexture property is set to a texture of type MTLTextureType2D, into which the MSAA targets are resolved.
When using MTKView, simply setting the sampleCount on the view to match the sampleCount of the render pipeline descriptor is sufficient to get MetalKit to create and manage the appropriate resources. By default, the render pass descriptors you receive from a view will have an internally-managed MSAA color target set as the primary color attachment, and the current drawable's texture set as the resolve texture of that attachment. In this way, enabling MSAA with MetalKit only requires a couple of lines of code.

How can I adjust the transparency with DirectX 11?

I'm trying to make transparent object like a colored glass or water and I succeeded in making it.
but I don't know how to adjust it's tranparency. Am I trying to do the impossible?
The scene is rendered with simple calculation of color and lighting.
and not using texture mapping in this program
I tried changing Blend state desc, blend factor, samplemask
but I'm not sure it was right.
Here is my Blendstate desc
BlendStateDesc.AlphaToCoverageEnable = false;
BlendStateDesc.IndependentBlendEnable = false;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].BlendEnable = true;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].SrcBlend = D3D11_BLEND_DEST_COLOR;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].DestBlend = D3D11_BLEND_ZERO;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].BlendOp = D3D11_BLEND_OP_ADD;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].SrcBlendAlpha = D3D11_BLEND_ONE;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].DestBlendAlpha = D3D11_BLEND_ZERO;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].BlendOpAlpha = D3D11_BLEND_OP_ADD;
BlendStateDesc.RenderTarget[0].RenderTargetWriteMask
=D3D11_COLOR_WRITE_ENABLE_ALL;
and setting
float bf[] = { 0.f,0.f,0.f,0.f };
pDeviceContext->OMSetBlendState(m_pd3dBlendState, bf, 0xffffffff);
I will assume this is DX11 and that the part you are missing is actually in your shader.
In your pixel shader, you will be returning a float4 rgba. The "a" value will control the values applied to the calculation. This value is between 0 and 1. If you could post your pixel shader code, that would help confirm/deny the solution.

Direct3D9 fullscreen app - deformed renderering

I have been hardly coding on a Direct3D9 based game. Everything went excellent util I hit a big problem. I created a class that wraps the process of loading a mesh from a .x file. I successfully loaded a cube with only one face visible. In theory, that face should look like a square but it is actually rendered as a rectangle. I am quite sure that there is something wrong with the D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structure. Down bellow are only the most important lines of my application's initialization.
First part to be created is the focus window:
HWND hWnd = CreateWindowEx(0UL, L"NewFrontiers3DWindowClass", Title.c_str(), WS_POPUP | WS_EX_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 1280, 1024, nullptr, (HMENU)false, hInstance, nullptr);
Then I fill out the D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structure.
D3DDISPLAYMODE D3DMM;
SecureZeroMemory(&D3DMM, sizeof(D3DDISPLAYMODE));
if(FAILED(hr = Direct3D9->GetAdapterDisplayMode(Adapter, &D3DMM)))
{
// Error is processed here
}
PresP.BackBufferWidth = D3DMM.Width;
PresP.BackBufferHeight = D3DMM.Height;
PresP.BackBufferFormat = BackBufferFormat;
PresP.BackBufferCount = 1U;
PresP.MultiSampleType = D3DMULTISAMPLE_NONE;
PresP.MultiSampleQuality = 0UL;
PresP.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
PresP.hDeviceWindow = hWnd;
PresP.Windowed = false;
PresP.EnableAutoDepthStencil = EnableAutoDepthStencil;
PresP.AutoDepthStencilFormat = AutoDepthStencilFormat;
PresP.Flags = D3DPRESENTFLAG_DISCARD_DEPTHSTENCIL;
PresP.FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz = D3DMM.RefreshRate;
PresP.PresentationInterval = PresentationInterval;
Then the Direct3D9 device is created, followed by the SetRenderState functions.
Next, the viewport is assigned.
D3DVIEWPORT9 D3D9Viewport;
SecureZeroMemory(&D3D9Viewport, sizeof(D3DVIEWPORT9));
D3D9Viewport.X = 0UL;
D3D9Viewport.Y = 0UL;
D3D9Viewport.Width = (DWORD)D3DMM.Width;
D3D9Viewport.Height = (DWORD)D3DMM.Height;
D3D9Viewport.MinZ = 0.0f;
D3D9Viewport.MaxZ = 1.0f;
if(FAILED(Direct3D9Device->SetViewport(&D3D9Viewport)))
{
// Error is processed here
}
After this initialization, I globally declare some parameters that will be used later.
D3DXVECTOR3 EyePt(0.0f, 0.0f, -5.0f), Up(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f), LookAt(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
D3DXMATRIX View, Proj, World;
The update function looks like this:
Mesh.Render(Direct3D9Device);
D3DXMatrixLookAtLH(&View, &EyePt, &LookAt, &Up);
Direct3D9Device->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, &View);
D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(&Proj, D3DX_PI/4, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1000.f);
Direct3D9Device->SetTransform(D3DTS_PROJECTION, &Proj);
D3DXMatrixTranslation(&World, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
Direct3D9Device->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &World);
The device is not a null pointer.
I recently realized that there is no difference between declaring and setting up a view port and not doing so.
If there is anybody who can point me to the right answer, please help me solve this annoying problem.
If you don't set any transformation matrices, so the identity transformation is applied to your mesh, then face of the cube will be stretched to the same shape of the viewport. If your viewport isn't square (eg. it's the same size as the screen) then your cube's face also won't be square.
You can use a square viewport to workaround this problem, but that will limit your rendering to just that square on the screen. If you want to render to the entire screen you'll need to set a suitable projection matrix. You can calculate a normal perspective perspective matrix using D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH. If you want an orthogonal perspective, where everything is the same size regardless of the distance from the camera, then use D3DXMatrixOrthoLH to calculate the perspective matrix. Note that if you use your viewport's width and height with the later function it will shrink your cube. A unit size cube will be rendered as a single pixel on the screen. You can either use a world or view transform to scale it up again, or use something like width/height and 1 as your width and height parameters to D3DXMatrixOrthoLH.
If you go with D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH then you want something like this:
D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(&Proj, D3DX_PI/4, (double) D3DMM.Width / D3DMM.Height,
1.0f, 1000.f);
I think your problem not in D3DPP parameters but in your projective matrix. If you use D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH, check aspect ratio to be 1280 / 1024 = 1.3333f

OpenCV: How to get corners of CvBox2D?

I need to find corner positions of CvBox2D (or MCvBox2D) to map found contours on game object in XNA. I have a problem with correct translation of rotation angle. I thought that this is kind of basic operation but I kind find any solution in Internet.
I tried:
rotationAngle = box.angle * (180.0/ CV_PI);
angle = box.angle;
box.angle=rotationAngle;
alien.X = box.center.X - box.Width / 2;
alien.Y = box.center.Y - box.Height / 2;
alien.angle=angle;
but it wasn't translating it correctly.
Had someone ever tried to get corners on this kind of structure?
In EmguCV you just need to call
PointF[] corners = box.GetVertices();
if box is a MCvBox2D.
The simplest way to get the vertices of a CvBox2D is to convert it to a RotatedRect:
CvBox2D box = ...
cv::RotatedRect rr(box);
cv::Point2f vertices[4];
rr.points(vertices);
// vertices now has the four corners your seek
