I've been pretty busy lately, but I thought I'd post the following just to prove I was doing something and that I'm still alive [grin]

Interesting, isn't it. It's the output from examining the available data from the DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure). Whilst D3D10 has fixed feature caps, things like resolution and monitor output can't be fixed - so enumerations do still exist. The above is pretty similar to IDirect3D9::GetAdapterIdentifier().

The interesting part is being able to get the exact amount of VRAM installed on the physical hardware. Yes, you can get it currently - but it's nowhere near as easy...

I'm not too sure whats up with the refresh rates on the supported modes. Some really odd values in there. 59hz? 86hz? 94hz? I think they should be 60/85/95 respectively. Refresh rates are expressed as rational numbers - with some really odd values.

I installed the Feb '06 SDK on my machine and started building up a simple D3D10 application. It doesn't really do much at the moment, but I'm trying to build up a simple application without copy-n-pasting the stock code. Thus going from the API reference and documentation. Yes, I am that hardcore [razz]

I'm planning on putting some D3D10 goodness into this journal in the near future. I've got a few simple applications I want to mess with, and I'll be posting any notable findings here...

Any requests?

One thing I always wanted to get around to doing was a dynamic non-linear/planar tesselator. i.e. increase the # of verts between existing verts, but also curve them appropiately.

You mean some form of higher-order surfaces? bezier/cubic patches and so on?

I might see about including something on that, but the current idea I have is to go for the really simple core basics. Sort of like a foundation "here's what sort of information you have, here's how to manipulate it - now go do some cool stuff!"
