FVF and Shaders
Author
Hi im writting an app which will use HLSL shaders, im loading my meshes into ID3DXMESH, when i run my shader it says that the COLOUR0 is not stored in my fvf. so i made my own vertex structure:
struct CUSTOMVERTEX
{
D3DXVECTOR3 p; // Vertex position
D3DXVECTOR3 n; // Vertex normal
D3DXVECTOR3 d; // Diffuse Colour
float tu,tv; // Texture co-ordinate
};
#define D3DFVF_CUSTOMVERTEX (D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_NORMAL | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX1 )
but how do i apply this to the device or the mesh when i load it or do i have to clone the mesh into a new one with my custom vertex format?
thankx
You need to use declarations:
D3DVERTEXELEMENT9 structure -> IDirect3DDevice9::CreateVertexDeclaration() -> IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexDeclaration().
FVF's are for the legacy fixed-function pipeline.

like this?
LPDIRECT3DVERTEXDECLARATION9 pVertexDeclaration = NULL;
const D3DVERTEXELEMENT9 declaration[] =
{
{ 0, 0 * sizeof(float),D3DDECLTYPE_FLOAT3, D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT,D3DDECLUSAGE_POSITION, 0 },
{ 0, 3 * sizeof(float),D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR, D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT, D3DDECLUSAGE_COLOR, 0 },D3DDECL_END()};
base->D3dDevice->CreateVertexDeclaration( declaration, &pVertexDeclaration );
if i do that when do i actually set it? every render or once at the beginning?

It's expected a DWORD. Shouldn't matter for programmable pipeline though.

Yeah isn't the Fixed-Function Pipeline being made redundant in DX10?

First, note that the colour in the FVF is of type D3DCOLOR, i.e. a DWORD, and not a 3 component vector.
When using a mesh, you can use the CloneMeshFVF method to get a new mesh with the FVF you want.
However, if your object doesn't have colour information, I don't see the point in moving it to a format with colour unless you're going to fill that colour in, in which case it'd be better to create the object with the colour in place.

Oh dear, I've only just got to grips with FFP, I don't know anything about the Programmable one!
Quote:Original post by Dom_152Well you can stick with FFP for now if you don't want to be using any advanced features of D3D9 and aren't interested in D3D10. But for the most part the FFP has been stale for a few years now - you can do some clever stuff with it, but for the most part you need to use shaders to leverage the true power of modern GPU's [smile]

If you dig into HLSL and the effects framework it shouldn't be too hard. Especially if you use the effects framework you can mix fixed and programmable code, which should help you transition between them as you learn...

okay i created and set the declaration as you said but ive still got this message coming up when it gets to drawing the subsets.

is this to do with using vectors instead of DWORDS for colours?
