Hey, if you want to program a first-person shooter style
game like Half-Life or Quake, then this is the sample for
you. This code will show you how to create a first-person
view, which moves in response to both keyboard and mouse
input using DirectInput.
These samples demonstrate how to perform one-pass and
two-pass emboss bump mapping with Direct3D. I've also included
code, which demonstrates how to calculate tangent and binormal
vectors on a per-vertex basis. These special vectors define
the texture space for each vertex, which allows for accurate
texture coordinate shifting during the bump mapping process.

page for the OpenGL equivalent of these samples.

This sample demonstrates how to write and use Effect files
(.fx) under DirectX 8.1. The sample Effect is very straightforward.
It defines a technique called "TwoPassTextureBlend",
which has two separate rendering passes, called "Pass0" and "Pass1".
The two passes are then used to basically blend two textures
together through the simple addition of the texel data.
Demonstrates how to write a
vertex shader using the vs.1.0
instruction set defined in DirectX 8.1.
Of course, this method of writing
shaders for Direct3D will soon be
replaced by either DirectX 9.0's HLSL
(High-Level Shading Language) or
Cg (C for graphics) from
nVIDIA. Check out the
OpenGL source code page for the
OpenGL equivalent of this sample.
Demonstrates how to write a simple vertex shader, or
vertex program using Cg.
