Making a 2D sprites in D3D
Author
Hi, how can I make a 2d sprites in D3D 8 from a quad which is always in front of my scene (for a game menu) or always behind my game scene ??
I remembered that you can do this just by messing with the projection matrices but I forgot and I can''t figure it out myself.
Thx..
Try this:
All you have to have setup is your viewport, the projection can be left alone As far as I remember. Also turn of zbuffer read/write for sprites.
To draw behind the 3d geom
1) draw behind sprites
2) draw 3d geom
3) draw infront sprites
This uses transformed+lit vertices, see the sdk on vertex formats.
Also using DrawPrimitiveUP() is not the most efficent way to do this, using a dynamic vertex buffer would improve things.
[edit, damn that #define messing up the source, and damn my formating ;]

for always in front, disable the depth test. it will be in front and you will save a few cycles too.

I''ve tried using TL vertices for my quad but the sprite will show up always in front of my 3d scene.
How can I make sure that my quad sprites will render in the furthest distance (as a background??)

Change the rhw member. the rhw member stands for "Reciprocal Homogenous W" [sic?] - i.e. the depth of the quad.

To draw a sprite in the back of the scene set its vertices'' Z components to 1 and don''t turn off depth testing.
void Signature(void* Pointer)
{
PObject(Pointer)->ShowMessage("Why do we need so many pointers?");
};

After I render my 2d sripte, I lost all of my lighting ??? I swear I didn''t change the lighting''s render states when I render my sprite and I''ve forced to set set ligthing render states everytime I draw my 3d geom. What happened ???
