I faced with fact that I dont know how to get or set array of values to/from shader via effects framework.
In my case I need to pass array of matrices to shader.
Could someone help me with this? Need I use constant buffers or somethig else?
P.S. I am using managed code with sharpdx, but I think that in pure C++ the way to do it must be the same.
Not sure about SharpDX, but in SlimDX, you can do something like this:
SlimDX.Direct3D11.Effect FX = ... // Create an effect from the device and shader bytecode
// Assuming gBoneTransforms is a float4x4 array and _boneTransformsArray is a SlimDX.Matrix array
_boneTransforms = FX.GetVariableByName("gBoneTransforms").AsMatrix();
_boneTransforms.SetMatrixArray(_boneTransformsArray);
Thanks for help!
In sharpdx there is a little difference, but in general almost the same:
var matrixArray = renderSystem.customEffect.GetVariableByName("jointsArray").AsMatrix();
matrixArray.SetMatrix(JointMatrices);
