I'm trying to apply a sprite as background (Menu).

I have the window size:
#define WIDTH 800
#define HEIGHT 600

and I'm trying this way:

	D3DXMATRIX m;	D3DXMatrixScaling(&m, WIDTH / (float)1024, HEIGHT / (float)768, 1);	m_Sprite->SetTransform(&m);	m_Sprite->Draw(m_Texture, NULL, NULL, &position, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255,255,255));

My sprite is the size 1024x768 and window 800x600
but the sprite is not getting the exact size of the screen :(

Look:

The sprite:

The screen with sprite:

I searched on the forum, but have not found the solution
Thanks

In your image the background is correctly scaled on the X-axis, but doesn't seem scaled at all on the Y-axis. Double-check that your parameters are correct.

Also, you should use AdjustWindowRectEx to calculate the window-size when creating your window. If you create the window with size 800x600, then the actual draw-area is smaller, since the window's title-bar and borders are included in the size. However I don't think this is your current problem, as the sprite doesn't seem scaled at all on the Y-axis.

Hi,

I'm workin' on D3DX Sprite too :D

You must use D3DXMatrixTransformation2D() instead of D3DXMatrixScaling(). That's the trick ;)

First;
* Create your texture from file via D3DXCreateTextureFromFile().
* Get it's level-0 description: IDirect3DTexture9::GetLevelDesc(). And get width and height data from it.
* Get your window size. With this and the data came from the previous step, get scaling factor via

D3DXVECTOR2 scalingFactor ((float)windowW / (float)textureW, (float)windowH / (float)textureH);

Second;
* Call D3DXMatrixTransformation2D:

D3DXMATRIX spriteMatrix;D3DXMatrixTransformation2D (&spriteMatrix, NULL, 0, &scalingFactor, NULL, 0, NULL);

* Call ID3DXSprite::SetTransform:

yourD3DXSprite->SetTransform (&spriteMatrix);

Third, and the last;
* Draw it:

yourD3DXSprite->Draw (yourSpriteTexture, NULL, NULL, NULL, D3DXCOLOR (1, 1, 1, 1));

Excellent bg image, btw ;)

hth.

There's no "hard", and "the impossible" takes just a little time.

Look this friend :D

Thanks for help!
What filters can I use to make better the quality of the sprite?

Thanks, I'm not a designer :( I tried to do my best!

You can use linear filtering:

yourD3DDevice->SetSamplerState (0, D3DSAMP_MINFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR);yourD3DDevice->SetSamplerState (0, D3DSAMP_MAGFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR);yourD3DDevice->SetSamplerState (0, D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR);

I've heard that anisotropic filtering (i.e. D3DTEXF_ANISOTROPIC) is better but you've to check the max. anisotropy level that driver/gpu work with.

ID3DXSprite will already use bilinear filtering, or anistropic if it's available. Trilinear (linear mip filter) is redundant since sprites shouldn't have more than one mip level.

I belive it can be true, but I'm working with D3DX Sprite in 3D Space (e.g. flame, smoke, explosion effects etc.). If I don't use any of filtering operations before calling ID3DXSprite::Draw(), it looks like an image built by colored little squares.

I don't know the results in screen space like Vitali's example.

I'm using ATi HD4890, btw.

Ah yes, I missed it. You're right.

Thanks for correcting me, Steve.

If you pass the D3DXSPRITE_DONOTMODIFY_RENDERSTATE flag to ID3DXSprite::Begin(), it won't set change the sampler state (Among other things), which would mean it'll be using whatever the device has set, which is point (nearest neighbour) by default.

As for making it look better - so long as you have scaling going on, there's always going to be some blurring or jagged edges. How about not scaling the background, but splitting it into multiple pieces (I.e. title, gun logo and each menu option), and then positioning them based on the resolution, but not scaling them?
