I'm having touble using the read and write masks with the stencil buffer and wanted to clarify how they're used. Here's my example setting: D3DRS_STENCILFUNC = D3DCMP_LESS D3DRS_STENCILPASS = D3DSTENCILOP_INCR D3DRS_STENCILFAIL = D3DSTENCILOP_KEEP D3DRS_STENCILMASK = 0x11 (0001 0001) D3DRS_STENCILWRITEMASK = 0x11 D3DRS_STENCILREF = 0x11 Is this what happens?

k, so it looks like the stencil test is actuall
If ((StencilBuffer & StencilMask) < (StencilRef & StencilMask))

The docs didn't explain what gets written out though,

Is it ((StencilBuffer & StencilMask) + 1) & StencilWriteMask

or just (StencilBuffer + 1) & StencilWriteMask


Thanks,

edit:
Also I should add that I'm using DX9. The docs say you can do this, but I have no clue how you're supposed to go about writing your own formula:

Quote:
You can write your own formula for the value you want written into the stencil buffer as shown in the following example.

NewStencilBufferValue = (StencilBufferValue & ~StencilWriteMask) |
(StencilWriteMask & StencilOp(StencilBufferValue))
