This namespace contains all the new DirectX11 functionality. It uses SharpDX as .Net wrapper. This has been chosen over slimdx, since it is a direct port, and faster than SlimDX

A solution must still be found for the Input libraries missing in SharpDX

• Create a new LineManager3D.
  • Create functionality to render dots/points, by rendering billboards with a texture of a white dot, and a color in the vertices. Possibly use a Geometry shader to create billboards
  • Maybe the lines can be billboard rendered too, for improved rendering quality?
• Create a basic shader, which is available from the DirectX10Game. EDIT: FORWARD RENDERING IS DEPRECATED
  • Make combinations available:
    • Diffuse+specular colored
    • Diffuse textured
    • Diffuse textured + normal mapped
    • 1 directional light
    • 1-3 point light
    • 1-3 spot lights
    • Diffuse textured + normal mapped + parallax
• Render a sphere (create SphereMesh)
• Render a model (collada or obj?)
• Implement deferred rendering (spot lights)
• Implement shadow mapping (spot lights)
• Implement SSAO

• * Sure :P
• * It was a lot easier then I thought - I thought that I have to put some special parameters in the _DESC structures and then to create all render targets at once, but all I had to do was to make a render target array like this: ID3D10RenderTargetView* multipleRenderTargets [3]; (3 in this case).
• * Then the you simply use this array to create a render target (you can create only one at a time like this):
• device→CreateRenderTargetView(texture2D,&descRTV,&multipleRenderTargets[0])
• and then
• device→OMSetRenderTargets(3,multipleRenderTargets,NULL)

Can be used to render cascaded shadow maps? (see harnessing the power of dx10 from nvidia) GS can be use to output to multiple cascaded shadow maps: use SV_RenderTargetIndex to select shadow map!

Have a look at the CSM implemetation in D3D SDK. There is also an optimized version of CSM in ShaderX 7.

Research on how to use MSAA for this. Humus has a sample: http://www.humus.name/index.php?page=3D&ID=61
