Been following a tutorial to try and learn C++ DirectX. So far so good, but depth buffer is giving me problems.

I'll work this into classes after I have a better idea of how it all fits together but here's the code I have so far. The scene renders fine (well except depth buffer not clipping stuff) if I don't put my depth buffer pointer into OMSetRenderTargets() and comment out ClearDepthBuffer();

This makes it pretty obvious to me that it has to do something with how I'm creating the buffer. I've looked up at least 3 different tutorials and tried to adapt their code but none of it seems to work.

I've tried everything I can think of and have been trolling forums for about an hour and nothing suggested seems to work.

I know it's pretty bleh at the second. Just want to get a better idea of how everything works so I don't have to do to rebuild wrapper classes.

//How I Initialize Stuff

void InitRenderTarget()
{ HRESULT hr;
ID3D11Texture2D* pBackBuffer;
pSwapChain->GetBuffer(0,__uuidof(ID3D11Texture2D),(LPVOID*)&pBackBuffer);
hr = pDev->CreateRenderTargetView(pBackBuffer,NULL,&pRenderTargetView);
pBackBuffer->Release();
pBackBuffer = nullptr;
if(hr != S_OK)
{
isPlaying = false;
return;
}
D3D11_TEXTURE2D_DESC texd;
ZeroMemory(&texd,sizeof(texd));
texd.Width = 800.0f;
texd.Height = 600.0f;
texd.ArraySize = 1;
texd.MipLevels = 1;
texd.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
texd.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT;
texd.BindFlags = D3D11_BIND_DEPTH_STENCIL;
texd.Usage = D3D11_USAGE_DEFAULT;
hr = pDev->CreateTexture2D(&texd,NULL,&pDepthBuff);
if(hr != S_OK)
{
isPlaying = false;
return;
}
D3D11_DEPTH_STENCIL_VIEW_DESC ddesc;
ZeroMemory(&ddesc,sizeof(ddesc));
ddesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT;
ddesc.ViewDimension = D3D11_DSV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
pDev->CreateDepthStencilView(pDepthBuff,&ddesc,&pDepth);
pDC->OMSetRenderTargets(1,&pRenderTargetView,pDepth);

pDepthBuff->Release();
pDepthBuff = nullptr;

D3D11_RASTERIZER_DESC rDesc;
rDesc.FillMode = D3D11_FILL_SOLID;
rDesc.CullMode = D3D11_CULL_NONE;
rDesc.DepthClipEnable = true;
rDesc.FrontCounterClockwise = false;
rDesc.MultisampleEnable = false;
rDesc.SlopeScaledDepthBias = false;
rDesc.DepthBias = false;
rDesc.DepthBiasClamp = false;
rDesc.AntialiasedLineEnable = false;
rDesc.ScissorEnable = false;

pDev->CreateRasterizerState(&rDesc,&pRastState);
pDC->RSSetState(pRastState);

//SetupViewPort
D3D11_VIEWPORT viewport;
ZeroMemory(&viewport,sizeof(D3D11_VIEWPORT));
viewport.TopLeftX = 0;
viewport.TopLeftY = 0;
viewport.Width = 800;
viewport.Height = 600;
viewport.MinDepth = 0.0f;
viewport.MaxDepth = 1.0f;
pDC->RSSetViewports(1,&viewport);
}


//How I do some basic drawing

void RenderFrame()
{
pDC->ClearRenderTargetView(pRenderTargetView,ClearColor);
pDC->ClearDepthStencilView(pDepth,D3D11_CLEAR_DEPTH,1.0f,0.0f);
pDC->Draw(3,0);
World2.MakeRotateY(VM_PI*gTimer.TotalTime());
World2.Translate(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
World2.RotateY(VM_PI_4*gTimer.TotalTime());
Matrix4x4::MatrixMultiply(World2,View,World2);
pDC->UpdateSubresource(pCBuffer,0,0,&World2,0,0);
pDC->Draw(3,0);
pSwapChain->Present(0,0);
}


Found out the issue. I changed this


pDev->CreateDepthStencilView(pDepthBuff,NULL,&pDepth);
