Hi. After playing about in directx and metro, I've hit a wall that either I'm being the most useless n00b on the planet or things do not work quite the same as earlier directx. very simply, im trying to render a triangle straight to "normalised / homogenous" or whatever you call it space - using the world's most basic shaders. To make sure that my initialisation code wasn't screwed up, I've transplanted the code into the direct 3D app template and still it does not show. if anyone could help work out why my triangle is not showing, would be appreciated. there must be something easy I've missed. To note this code tries to draw two triangles, filling the screen, one clockwise winding and one anti-clockwise, a test in case my winding was wrong. (Why can't I hit enter on this forum for a new line lol??). Anyway, first I hijack the cuberenders create device resources code
[source lang="cpp"]void CubeRenderer::CreateDeviceResources(){ Direct3DBase::CreateDeviceResources(); VertexPos vertices[] = {  DirectX::XMFLOAT3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.2f),  DirectX::XMFLOAT3(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.2f),  DirectX::XMFLOAT3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.2f),  DirectX::XMFLOAT3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.2f),  DirectX::XMFLOAT3(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.2f),  DirectX::XMFLOAT3(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.2f), }; D3D11_BUFFER_DESC TT_vertexDesc; ZeroMemory(&TT_vertexDesc, sizeof(TT_vertexDesc)); TT_vertexDesc.Usage = D3D11_USAGE_DEFAULT; TT_vertexDesc.BindFlags = D3D11_BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER; TT_vertexDesc.ByteWidth = sizeof(VertexPos) * 6; D3D11_SUBRESOURCE_DATA sResource; ZeroMemory(&sResource, sizeof(sResource)); sResource.pSysMem = vertices; DX::ThrowIfFailed(m_d3dDevice->CreateBuffer(&TT_vertexDesc, &sResource, &TT_vertexBuffer)); //Load the Shaders //Load the vertex shader (the build configuration / properties of the shader file deals with compile to .cso) auto task_LoadTTVS = DX::ReadDataAsync("VS_TriangleTest.cso"); auto task_CreateTTVS = task_LoadTTVS.then([this](DX::ByteArray ba) {  //This async load / helper classes are taken straight from the template.

FYI I've confirmed that all the context calls are run

const float Red[] = { 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f };
m_d3dContext->ClearRenderTargetView(m_renderTargetView.Get(), Red);
//Clear the depth stenicl view
m_d3dContext->ClearDepthStencilView(m_depthStencilView.Get(), D3D11_CLEAR_DEPTH, 1.0f, 0);
if (!m_loadingComplete)
  return;
m_d3dContext->IASetInputLayout(TT_inputLayout.Get());
m_d3dContext->OMSetRenderTargets(1, m_renderTargetView.GetAddressOf(), m_depthStencilView.Get());
//Test triangle following some book code to check that everything is working
UINT str = sizeof(VertexPos);
UINT oset = 0;
m_d3dContext->IASetVertexBuffers(0, 1, &TT_vertexBuffer, &str, &oset);
m_d3dContext->IASetPrimitiveTopology(D3D11_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_TRIANGLELIST);
m_d3dContext->VSSetShader(VS_TT.Get(), 0, 0);
m_d3dContext->PSSetShader(PS_TT.Get(), 0, 0);
m_d3dContext->Draw(6, 0);

then the world's simplest shaders (even desperately rewritten to copy ones on the net using a structure, obviously this pass through could just be main function only returning float4...

struct VOut
{
float4 position : SV_POSITION;
};
VOut main( float4 pos : POSITION )
{
VOut output;
output.position = pos;
return output;
}

and the pixel pencil...

float4 main(float4 position : SV_POSITION) : SV_TARGET
{
return float4 (0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
}

and wahay, I always get a red screen. ive tried making the triangles screen sized in case its not -1,-1 to 1,1 but still no joy. any help for a tired n00b? thanks!!

[papulko]

I'm not sure if this will help but it seems to me your input layout defines vertex position as a 3 element vector (DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT), while your vertex shader parameter is expecting a 4 element one (float4 pos). I'd suggest you try and change the vertex shader parameter to float3 and see if that helps!

[AlzPatz]

Hi, thanks so much for your suggestion. My shaders would not compile with a float3 input, but I changed the code to use XMFLOAT4's instead. unfortunately no luck. Im getting really depressed now. Ive tried this in windows 7 dx11 c++, metro c++/cx DX 11 and with sharp DX in c#, always the same. I even followed the code from book "beginning game programming in directx11 that does this, and it didn't work, except their demo compiled and it worked!). seriously cannot for the life of me work this out. it's infuriating, this was supposed to be small step just to check things are working...

[papulko]

Hey again, Don't forget to change your input layout to DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_FLOAT (and your vertex struct position element if you haven't already) in order for it to work with XMFLOAT4,

If you wish to stick with XMFLOAT3, I'm guessing your shader won't compile because the 2nd row in the main method of your vertex shader has to be changed from ("output.position = pos") to "output.position = float4(pos, 1.0f)".

[AlzPatz]

Sorry I wasn't very clear. I did change the Input Layout format to the 4 component format. and I also changed the vertex shader to output a float4 from a float3 (pos, 1.0f). Ill double check again tonight anyhow.

[hupsilardee]

You didnt set a viewport anywhere I could see. It could be this

[AlzPatz]

Viewport is set at the end of another part of the code. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[papulko]

I'm missing a set rasterizer call ( "m_d3dContext->RSSetState()" ), could be it.

[AlzPatz]

Thanks Papulko - you are right, I do not set one. However, Im pretty certain that DX11 sets up a default rasteriser that CULLS back and FILLS_SOLID. Ill add it later, but I dont hold too much hope this will work.

[L. Spiro]

Change it to disable culling or reverse the winding of your triangles.

Use PIX to confirm the positions of your vertices in screen space after the vertex shader is run.
Use PIX to perform general debugging of the scene and verification of the state at the time of rendering.
Use DirectX Debug Mode and watch the console for important messages on errors and warnings.


L. Spiro

[AlzPatz]

Thanks Spiro. have tried reverse winding. Will try out PIX when I get home. DX DebugMode is turned on, no funny messages.

[kauna]

I'm not sure if this will help but it seems to me your input layout defines vertex position as a 3 element vector (DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT), while your vertex shader parameter is expecting a 4 element one (float4 pos). I'd suggest you try and change the vertex shader parameter to float3 and see if that helps!

Using DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT is perfectly valid. The vertex shader will receive the value as [x,y,z,1.0f] automatically.

Cheers!

[AlzPatz]

so..turns out PIX has been replaced by Graphics Diagnostics integrated into Visual Studio 2012. Hurray I thought, until it turns out that it's only available on versions higher than 'express', so that's a £500+ purchase to use graphics debugging on Visual Studio 2012. soul destroying. Not sure anyway around this. I cant download any trial versions etc as I am running RC and some version of windows 8, it's all gone to sh1t until the real version of windows 8 is released.

[AlzPatz]

i would also add that I have no problems doing this simple drawing in DirectX 11 and C++ in windows 7 / win 32. Im at a loss, completely.

[col_anderson]

The problem you are describing sound like the exact same problem when I try to render a cube.

Inspecting the problem with the Graphics Diagnosis Tool tells me that the Pixel Shader has not participate in the graphics pipeline process, in my case, without any obvious reason.

I have double checked it, but it was loaded properly and set correctly in the device context.
This leaves me clueless.

Perhaps the additional diag info helps in your case as well, AlzPatz. (see attachment)

}

#include "definitions.fx"

PS_INPUT output = (PS_INPUT)0;
output.Pos = mul(input.Pos,World);
output.Pos = mul(output.Pos, View);
output.Pos = mul(output.Pos, Projection);
output.Color = input.Color;

Hi col_andersen.
Same as me, I do not see anything obvious in the code. You are using the Jun2010 SDK? So no targeting metro?
I could be getting the same effect. Any chance I could send you a simple solution zip file for you to run through the diagnostics to check if the same?

[col_anderson]

I solved the issue for me, but you seem to use untransformed screen coordinates.

The root cause with my code were the Projection and View matrices.

While I stored the world matrix correctly:

sChangesEveryFrame.mWorld = XMMatrixTranspose(XMLoadFloat4x4(&worldMatrix));

I did not do it with the other two:

sNeverChanges.mView = XMLoadFloat4x4(&ViewMatrix);

and

sChangesOnResize.mProjection = XMLoadFloat4x4(&ProjectionMatrix);

The shader has to use a transposed version of the matrices.

AlzPatz - I will get in touch with you via PM.

[AlzPatz]

thanks - yes, i'm just trying to put a triangle on screen as a simple test lol.

[papulko]

AlzPatz did you setup a view and projection matrix?

[AlzPatz]

Hi - no i do not. I didn't think I needed to if my vertices were already in "Screen Space", or Homogenous clip space, or whatever (-1,-1, z to 1, 1,z). maybe i got wrong end of the stick.
