DirectX9 - Problems to arrange bitmap - Graphics Discussion Boards

I'm sorry that I can't help further because I don't know about your game. You can try to search the web for more information about the used colour tables and where they are stored.

I Urgently require source code for computer graphics mini project on rotation of a leaf in c language and in opengl.

Then you need to get writing. No one here is going to do your work for you.

I urgently require you to start working.
We do not write code on request.

I need help to Point me in the right direction.
At work they have asked me to create a program to read scanning data and then create a timber log in 3D based on the scanned data. And they need it in Direct X , not Open Gl or in WPF or something like that.

I have been searching and there pleanty of diffrent approaches with frameworks such as Unity and so on.

How would you approach this ?

I would start this by gathering all the requirements and breaking them down. For instance, what format does the scanning data come in as (is it an obj file for instance)? Do you have to do this yourself or are you getting it from another source? It's always a mistake to think about what coding techniques you need if you don't have an idea about what it is you're being asked to build.

This space for rent

I have Everything well documented and i have a working solution to get scanner data. I get a list with the Diameters for every 2 cm of the log.
But my problems is how to approach the 3D.
Since they want me to do it in DirectX and not Open GL and they want me to select one of the frameworks out there such as Unity or any other.
The problem is that i have no clue what package to select ? Unity ?

Hi,

i properly have coded a bitmap to be drawn in a control child of a dialogue in WINAPI.

Now i want to fit the bitmap, that has to be bigger than the window size, in specific coordinates, lateron i want to make controls that move the picture in the window.

My problem is i really don't know where i can set the variables who arrange the picture.

Here's the code (only the main, the headers are not neccessary):

For now i need someone to tell me where i have to change the attributes to render the picture in different pixel- parts.
I am a newbie, i got two books, but none can really bring light to this question.

Where do i have to start? With the vertices? With the matrix? Or is it in the parts
of D3DXMatrixTranslation or D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH?

Please help, thx,
Chris

Is it possible to get a sense of depth and 3D space (X,Y,Z planes) from an image or video? Is there an API that can handle this sort of processing? Perhaps with several images or source videos you could possibly determine 3D space and boundaries of an area in a series of photos or videos. I know they have photogrammetry software that can compile 3D objects based on a series of photos taken from different angles. I am wondering if this can be done to map out a terrain in an image or video (or series of them).

Make3D --- convert your image into 3d automatically[^]

Hey Everyone, I am not new to application development in general. I have experience designing basic CAD plugins, but that is about it.

I would like to start a new project. I want to be able to draw and render 3D terrain based on information derived from small segments in Google Earth. How do I do that? I know other applications can do this, like Rhino. So it is possible. The target OS for this functionality is Windows 10 (Desktop).

You first go to the Google developer website and research how and what information they provide.

You start with the public source the SRTM 90m data

CGIAR-CSI SRTM 90m DEM Digital Elevation Database[^]

Then you need to sort out what you want to do.

For example there is already a python import library addon for blender to display the data

In vino veritas

Hi together,
i am currently working on a WPF-based software for some basic CAD-funtionality. I herefore used this example Direct2DonWPF for using DirectX / D2D in a WPF control, which is working fine. I can draw what i want and the performance is good - EXCEPT the flickering when i draw to fast (>25fps). With GDI+ i was able to activate Doublebuffering and everything was fine. Now i'd need to implement the SwapChain from DirectX to get rid of this problem. Unfortunately, i found many tutorials and examples dealing with this issue, but none of them implements the SwapChain and D2D in WPF. I tried hours on hours to get it working, but on some random point i can't get it working.

Could someone help me understanding how to implement the SwapChain in the previously linked example, using D3DImage control etc.?

Thanks for your help,
Max

C#

I would like to model the 3d object, consisted of two parts (A1 and A2). The angle between A1 and A2 is 150°. A1 and A2 are cylinders. The 3D object (A1 and A2) is lying on the XY plane.
I would like to rotate the 3d object around the A1 axis. The render plane has to be XZ. I don’t know how to rotate the 3d object around A1 axis. I use different combinations of the following functions:

D3DXMatrixRotationY(&R11, D3DX_PI * D3DXToRadian(0));
D3DXMatrixRotationAxis(&A1,  &D3DXVECTOR3 (0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f), D3DXToRadian(30));
D3DXMatrixRotationZ(&R12, D3DXToRadian(20));
D3DXMatrixTranslation(&T11, 20.0f, 5.0f, 0.0f);
D3DXMatrixRotationX(&R13, D3DXToRadian(40));
HR(gd3dDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &(R11 * A1 * R13/* * T11 * R13*/)));

Unfortunately I don’t understand how to create a child object (A2). When I rotate the object A1, the child object A2 has to be rotated automatically around the A1 axis.

Could you help to resolve the problem?

I would like to control two 3D objects separately using direct3d library.

You're setting the world transform, then drawing the cube followed by the cylinder.

Either draw the cylinder before applying the world transform for the cube, or apply a new world transform before drawing the cylinder.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you !

I have recently read an article about Direct2D and GDI Interop from MSDN and I just wanted to make an attempt on that.

The problem with my code is that there is no (D2D) red rectangles at the output file but it does not produce any compile-time or runtime errors.

That really makes me frustrated as I have already spent my valuable weekend for that without any progress. Cry | :((

Any help is appreciated. Rose | [Rose]

You are trying to do this in a console application. I do not think that will work since you have no Window to draw on. You need to create a Windows app to do it.

Hi
I use the following link for starting an application with direct3d:
file:///D:/SoftwareProjects/Help/A%20Primer%20of%20DirectX%20Basics%20and%20the%20DirectX3D%20API%20-%20CodeProject.htm

I use this book too: Introduction to 3D Game Programming, written by Frank Luna

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 C++ and Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010).

I have the following errors during debug of my application.

in the file DirectInput.cpp at the following lines:

HR(mKeyboard->Acquire());
HR(mMouse->Acquire());

The error is: one box appears with the following text:
Unexpected error encountered.
X Error
with buttons: YES/ NO

I don't know how to attach a screenshot of the error to the message.

Could you please help me to resolve the problem.

Also in DirectInput.h

I changed the declaration of the following:
extern DirectInput* gDInput;
in static DirectInput* gDInput;

Regards

You do realise we can't access your computer, right? A link to an HTML file stored on your computer is absolutely useless to us. D'Oh! | :doh:

I appologize. This is the link where I took the example:
