1. Is ID3DXEffect creates render state block for those declared in "pass scope"?

technique tech
{
pass p0
{
ALPHABLENDENABLE = TRUE;
...
...
}
}


2. Does it do that at creation time (D3DXCreateEffectFromFile)?

3. Does it stores state block for each pass?

4. I guess it restores "old state" after EndPass() method?

5. What about sampler states?

texture decal_tex;
sampler decal_samp = sampler_state
{
Texture = <decal_tex>;
MIPFILTER = LINEAR;
MAGFILTER = LINEAR;
MINFILTER = LINEAR;
ADDRESSU = BORDER;
ADDRESSV = BORDER;
BORDERCOLOR = 0xFFFFFFFF;
};


Does it do the same thing?

Thanks for your time.
