directx 10


hi guys i am sorry i haven't posted in a while i have been trying to enjoy my summer holidays. Which as of monday(2 days away) will be over. So i would like to update you on my progress so far.
right now i am working through the book 'introduction to 3d game programming with directx 10' and i must say its a great book i would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn directx 10.

Right now i have been working on a program which will allow me to view my meshes in an interactive environment. So it will be good when i finally go into animation and things like that.
I also added a fog effect to this program just because i thought it would look cool. right now i have rendered a box using the textures from the book(a.k.a the wirefence box) and i am going to add the ability to move this box depending on the input. right now i have added forwards and backwards movement but i am going to try and add some sort of speed effect. Like the one seen in the SDK where you are a ball and movement is dependent on things like physics collisions and other things like that :D

Also i think you will notice i have the windows 7 OS. this is because i recently purchased a new computer the specs are as follows:

8GB RAM Corsair
500GB harddrive
1GB ddr2 graphics card


and today i also had a great time at a local beach kitesurfing! :D we recently purchased a new kite and we utilized the strong wind and had some fun :D

hope you enjoyed my blog post.
