HelloWorld
HelloTriangle HelloBundles HelloConstBuffers HelloTexture |
The HelloWorld sample set contains the following simple projects to help you get started with Direct3D 12.
Renders a simple triangle using Direct3D 12. Demonstrates the usage of a bundle for rendering using Direct3D 12. Demonstrates how to use constant buffers to pass data to the GPU used for rendering in Direct3D 12. Demonstrates how to apply a texture to a triangle using Direct3D 12. |
Y | Y | Creating a basic Direct3D 12 component |
D3D12Bundles | Demonstrates frame buffering and synchronization best practices as well as rendering a simple mesh using bundles. | Y | Y | |
D3D12Multithreading | An example of how to build a multithreaded capable application. | Y | N | |
D3D12nBodyGravity | Demonstrates how multi-engine can be used to do asynchronous compute work alongside 3D work on the same GPU. | Y | Y | Multi-engine n-body gravity simulation |
D3D12PredicationQueries | Demonstrates occlusion culling using query heaps and predication. | Y | Y | Predication queries |
D3D12DynamicIndexing | Demonstrates the dynamic indexing capabilities of DirectX 12 and HLSL. | Y | Y | Dynamic Indexing using HLSL 5.1 |
D3D1211on12 | Demonstrates basic usage of the 11on12 layer. This sample renders text using D2D using the Direct3D 11 API on a Direct3D 12 11on12 device. | Y | Y | D2D using D3D11on12 |
D3D12ExecuteIndirect | Demonstrates compute engine culling in conjunction with the execute indirect feature to only render objects that pass the culling test. | Y | Y | Indirect drawing and GPU culling |
D3D12PipelineStateCache | Demonstrates Pipeline State Object (PSO) caching. | Y | Y | |
D3D12Fullscreen | Demonstrates how to handle fullscreen to windowed transitions and window resizing in DirectX 12. | Y | Y | |
D3D12HeterogeneousMultiadapter | Demonstrates how to share workloads amongst multiple heterogenous GPUs using shared heaps. | Y | Y | |
D3D12ReservedResources | Demonstrates the use of reserved (tiled) resources. In this sample a quad is textured with a reserved resource containing a full mip chain. | Y | Y | |
D3D12Residency | This is intended as a low-integration-cost solution to managing your Direct3D 12 heaps and committed resources, using memory management techniques from Direct3D 11. | Y | Y | |
D3D12SmallResources | Demonstrates the use of small placed resources, showing the potential memory savings gained using placed resources (with a 4K alignment) over committed and reserved resources (with a 64K alignment). | Y | Y |
