I followed D3D Post Processing sample in windows 8.1.

And I have successfully rendered my object with post processing effect.

But now I met a problem.I have many objects to render.I want only a part of objects rendered with post processing effect.I know this problem is about rendertarget.But I don't know how to deal with it.

Following is my code:

void D3DPostProcessing::DrawWithoutPostProcessing()
{
	m_d3dContext->OMSetRenderTargets(1, m_d3dRenderTargetView.GetAddressOf(), m_d3dDepthStencilView.Get());
	const float clearColor[4] = { 0.071f, 0.040f, 0.561f, 1.0f };
	m_d3dContext->ClearRenderTargetView(m_d3dRenderTargetView.Get(), clearColor);
	m_d3dContext->ClearDepthStencilView(m_d3dDepthStencilView.Get(), D3D11_CLEAR_DEPTH, 1.0f, 0);
	m_d3dContext->IASetInputLayout(m_inputLayout.Get());

	unsigned int stride = sizeof(VertexPNTTBI);
	unsigned int offset = 0;

	m_d3dContext->IASetVertexBuffers(0, 1, mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].VertexBuffer.GetAddressOf(), &stride, &offset);
	m_d3dContext->IASetIndexBuffer(mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].IndexBuffer.Get(), DXGI_FORMAT_R16_UINT, 0);
	m_d3dContext->IASetPrimitiveTopology(D3D11_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_TRIANGLELIST);
	m_d3dContext->VSSetShader(m_vertexShader.Get(), nullptr, 0);
	m_d3dContext->VSSetConstantBuffers(0, 1, m_constantBuffer.GetAddressOf());
	// set the pixel shader stage state
	m_d3dContext->PSSetShader(m_pixelShader.Get(), nullptr, 0);
	m_d3dContext->PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].textureSVR.GetAddressOf());
	m_d3dContext->PSSetSamplers(0, 1, m_sampler.GetAddressOf());
	m_d3dContext->DrawIndexed(mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].IndexCount, 0, 0);
}

void D3DPostProcessing::DrawPostProcessing()
{
	m_d3dContext->OMSetRenderTargets(1, m_intermediateTextureRenderTargetView.GetAddressOf(), m_d3dDepthStencilView.Get());
	const float clearColor[4] = { 0.071f, 0.040f, 0.561f, 1.0f };
	m_d3dContext->ClearRenderTargetView(m_intermediateTextureRenderTargetView.Get(), clearColor);
	m_d3dContext->ClearDepthStencilView(m_d3dDepthStencilView.Get(), D3D11_CLEAR_DEPTH, 1.0f, 0);
	m_d3dContext->IASetInputLayout(m_inputLayout.Get());

	unsigned int stride = sizeof(VertexPNTTBI);
	unsigned int offset = 0;

	m_d3dContext->IASetVertexBuffers(0, 1, mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].VertexBuffer.GetAddressOf(), &stride, &offset);
	m_d3dContext->IASetIndexBuffer(mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].IndexBuffer.Get(), DXGI_FORMAT_R16_UINT, 0);
	m_d3dContext->IASetPrimitiveTopology(D3D11_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_TRIANGLELIST);
	m_d3dContext->VSSetShader(m_vertexShader.Get(), nullptr, 0);
	m_d3dContext->VSSetConstantBuffers(0, 1, m_constantBuffer.GetAddressOf());
	// set the pixel shader stage state
	m_d3dContext->PSSetShader(m_pixelShader.Get(), nullptr, 0);
	m_d3dContext->PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].textureSVR.GetAddressOf());
	m_d3dContext->PSSetSamplers(0, 1, m_sampler.GetAddressOf());
	// Save the backbuffer viewport
	D3D11_VIEWPORT oldViewPort[1];
	unsigned int numberOfViewPorts = 1;
	m_d3dContext->RSGetViewports(&numberOfViewPorts, oldViewPort);
	// Setup the viewport to match the Intermediate Render Target
	D3D11_VIEWPORT viewPort = { 0 };
	viewPort.Width = static_cast<float>(m_intermediateRenderTargetWidth);
	viewPort.Height = static_cast<float>(m_intermediateRenderTargetHeight);
	viewPort.MinDepth = 0.0f;
	viewPort.MaxDepth = 1.0f;
	viewPort.TopLeftX = 0;
	viewPort.TopLeftY = 0;
	m_d3dContext->RSSetViewports(1, &viewPort);
	m_d3dContext->DrawIndexed(mYHMMesh.Geometry[0].IndexCount, 0, 0);
	// Restore the backbuffer viewport
	m_d3dContext->RSSetViewports(numberOfViewPorts, oldViewPort);
	BrightPassDownFilter();
	RenderGlow();
	CombineGlow();
}

In my code, both object rendered with post processing effect.Before rendering a post processing effect, I want to render one object that without post processing effect.

Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

And this is my full code[attachment=20537:FullCode.rar]

There are different ways to go.

1. use the stencil buffer to mask objects (eg only masked objects will be touched by the post-processing.

2. use different passes: renderObjectsOfTypeA => postProcessing => renderObjectsOfTypeB

3. use different render targets: renderObjectOfTypeA to renderTarget1 and renderTarget2, renderObjectOfTypeB to renderTarget1 only, do postprocesssing on renderTarget2 only

You need to check, which way is the best for your issue.

But generally post-processing, as the name implies is a post processing effect that works on images. Generally it is not geometry aware.

I can't think of one post-processing effect of the top of my head that I wouldn't want to either apply on the full scene, or apply it on a full scene but using a stencil mask.

Maybe if you tell us how you want your scene to look with one object not rendered with post-processing and the rest with we can get a better idea of what you are trying to do.

But in the meanwhile, what happens if you render your scene sans the problematic object, do post processing, render the full screen quad to the screen without Z-write and without clearing your depth buffer and back buffer you render your problematic object?

I'm using the 3rd way currently.Could you give me more detail?I do I mix these two rendertarget?

I have a scene and several people in my scene.

People can release some skills.

I want the post processing effect only work with skills!
