Need some help with shader(dx11) programming

[third_paradise]

Hi, trying to learn some shader programming. The renderer you see in the image is from an other patch as reference. First question: can I use NullGeometry like this?

Eh, I think I can speak for anyone here. Without a patch and\or bits of code…

I’ve got no experience in programming at all… First try :) I’ve used the dx11.effect template. By the way, what is a register used for? like:

cbuffer cbPerDraw : register( b0 )
{
	float4x4 tVP : LAYERVIEWPROJECTION;	
};

Yes I Can! The vertex count was wrong though… Next step a compute shader to append data to the buffers…

Great!

Registers are for the feature level management under the hood in the api, i think they used also to optimise memory bandwidth somehow, but you won’t really need them. You can remove the whole cbuffer stuff…
