I will assume some basic C++ knowledge for the purposes of this tutorial. Graphics Programming is very difficult to learn on it's own so I recommend getting fairly comfortable with C++ before attempting to do any programming with the Direct X API, if you are not confident with your programming skills then it will be difficult to diagnose errors with your graphics code.
I am a student studying Game Development and my first time setting up Direct X was a painful experience for me and I imagine a lot of people will feel the same way, it's just a daunting task to learn the D3D11 API and to understand the different components and how they work together when just setting up a project to clear the screen to a color requires so much effort. I made this tutorial as a guide for my future self and also for anyone looking to start learning graphics programming with Direct X. Windows 8/7 includes all of the DirectX runtime components found in Windows Vista, and adds Direct3D 11, DXGI 1.1, 10Level9 feature levels, the WARP10 software device, Direct2D, DirectWrite, and an update to Direct3D 10.1 to support 10Level9 and WARP10.Ĭopyright ©, all rights reserved.This is a basic tutorial on how to modify the default C++ Win32 application to run d3d11 code and get the screen to clear to a specific color, a good starting point for anyone learning computer graphics. What changes were made to the DirectX runtime for Windows 8/7?.For the same reasons noted in the preceding question, Direct3D 11 and related APIs are not available on Windows XP. Will DirectX 11 be available for Windows Vista or Windows XP?ĭirectX 11 is built into Windows 7, and it is available as an update for Windows Vista.This package is localized into Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Swedish, and English.įrequently Asked Questions about DirectX update
