Hi guys,

I am currently trying to get a head start on DirectX 12 with the Windows 10 public release just around the corner.

I am using the latest Tech Preview of 10 (downloaded yesterday) and have installed VS 2015.

I am trying to follow the MSDN with regards to DX12 but the examples they give don't even come close to compiling.

Has anyone had any luck yet with building a DX12 based application? Even if it is something as fundamental as rendering a triangle?

Thanks in advance :)

Take a look at this sample https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Direct3D-12-UAP-Sample-ecb1779f

It should work with the latest public SDK. If you don't like the UAP environment you can easily port the D3D12 intialization part (DeviceResources.cpp/h) to Win32 to get a barebone for your experiments.

Thanks for the reply.

I looked through that code earlier today actually :)

The odd thing is, it it full of DX11 calls and doesn't seem to reference any of the DX12 calls that are listed in the MSDN.

So, I am not sure if Microsoft mislabelled the example of whether they are using some sort of DX11/12 hybrid code.

What? Are you sure you are looking at the right source code?

Weird - apparently not. So it seems.

Re-downloaded it (it even overwrote the downloaded file) and it seems to be packed full of DX12 goodies. Odd.

Thanks again for pointing out the error of my ways :)

Hi DarkRonin,

you might want to take a look at this thread: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/666986-direct3d-12-documentation-is-now-public/. There are floating a couple of simple example codes around.

Thanks for the link. That certainly gives me a couple of things to try :)
