Can anyone recommend a good book For advanced modern graphics programming ?
The Last book I read "Ultimate Game Programming With DirectX-9" was quite useless.
I have experimented with Direct3D 9, and OpenGL 1.5 on and off for a while now, and want to learn all the advanced stuff.
Cg is my shader language of choice,
c/c++ for the usual stuff...
and completely avoiding all that Visual Basic C# .NET Rubbish...
Thanks.
I was considering the Cg tutorial book by nvidia, but it has some bad reviews on Amazon.

Apparently there isn't much book on DirectX9. A few from the Premier Press is quite good Real-time.Rendering.Tricks.and.Techniques.in.DirectX 3D.Game.Programming.All.In.One Special.effects.game.programming.with.directx This site also provide quite a lot of information http://gpwiki.org/Those books mostly concentrates on games. Other than that, i've a few in .Net, which i think you would want. Btw, i'm writing a .net based 3D graphic multimedia system. I have to use .net so i can deliver the software faster, where C++ will take longer time to develop, and even more time needed to debug and perfect the coding. Maybe towards the end, when things settle down, i'll convert the 3D engine into C++ based. Generally the basic instruction for DirectX9 doesn't differ much for .net and non-.net. DirectX SDK from microsoft also prove to be useful. Get Feb 2006 or earlier if you want the use legacy DirectShow features, after that version, DirectShow is moved to Platform SDK. Also don't bother with the newer SDK, cause it includes DirectX10, which is redundant if you're not targeting Vista. Do that note of the syntax changes (mainly the parameters needed per function), if you have diff release of DirectX SDK.

Depth Testing is not working (4) Hi, i've recently started working my way through a book on Using DirectX 9.0c SDK. And i've

book's cd's demo applications ( even pre-compiled) In other words, some objects are beeing
drawn over the top of objects closer to the camera. Very early in the book, ( Chapter 1 ) the book
descibes this problem, and how to resolve it by enableing Depth testing using the Depth Buffer. the
solution it says is a single line of code CODE g_D3DDevice->SetRenderState(D....

Infinite Game Space
game programming concept (3) Of course a computer cannot really have a truly infinite game space but then people do not have the
infintite lifetimes required to know the difference anyway. You can create a game with billions of
billions of locations which is more than big enough to be infinite as far as the human game player
is concerned. You cannot do this with the traditional approach, of programming each location ahead
of time. Your computer does not have the memory to contain them and the programmer does not have
the time to program them. Instead you must use fixed seed random generation. F....
Z80 Assembly

asm is alot faster and more powerful. *note* With z80 assembly, you can make some realy awesome
calculator games. Actually, z80 assembly is almost identical to the language used to program the
gameboy. Anyways, Ticalc.org is a really cool site with thousands of games to download for the
Texas Instrument calculators. Maxcoderz is a great programming group for the TI-83(....
