i am currently working on adding in support for Direct3D 10. Currently i have a Deferred Lighting setup for D3D 11 using compute shaders. As i am also supporting OpenGL and OpenGL ES, i want to add in light volume rendering for lower end support.

I can render out the scene using fullscreen quads, and everything works and looks the same as the Forward and Deferred Tiled lit scenes. I am trying to use spheres to represent the point lights, but i am running into a problem now. My problem is not unique, as i have found numerous articles, and links around the net dealing with them. However, the solutions that they suggest, are not yielding results, ugh.

in the attached screen shot below you can see an artifact, that using PIX i have determined that the polygon is not being culled properly. Now i have tried to use all culling modes, back, front, and even none. however, each just renders out a different image. If i disable blending, the sphere outline shows up correctly, so i know the shape is correct. if i render the shape out with forward lighting, the shape is correct. I am using 3 render targets, Albedo, Normal, and Depth. I recreate the depth in the pixel shader. I am hoping someone can help me out with some suggestions to look, or even help in debugging to get me on my way. Thanks in advance

oh and i am using View space for my lighting path, the scene is a simple plane, 1 point light, and the camera is 20 units above, looking straight down.

I don't have deffered shading experience but I know what is it..

but I think this is not problem of defferd shading stuff..

culling is just done by d3d , not shader at all..

you must slowly check you code again

and I sujest use other 3D data..

more complex one ..

or It could be broken 3D data or shader.

but hard to say by just what you show to me

i decided to try a second sphere model, and now it is rendering without a hitch... i have a different problem, but at least the culling issue has dissapeared.

Yea I think there is bug code or structure.. your loader may have some problem..
