Thanks for the link. @sirlantis: I'm hoping to keep with it, though my new job does eat up a lot of time with the commuting required. So it's likely I'll only have time for this project on weekends. @darknut101: Nope. I just believe in doing something if it seems fun and interesting. I don't feel like I have to choose between native Direct3D and XNA; I can play with each of them when I want to. Plus as I mentioned in my other post, my MVP says XNA/DirectX so I figure I should get to know that DirectX side a bit more. @sphereinabox: That is my new bible. Thanks for the link.

Well, I'm curious how far you will get within the next few months/weeks. When I decided to take a look into DX, I just lost interest after two weeks. But that might be because I wanted to get something done, and not getting in touch with it ;) Outdated materials wouldn’t happen if the API wouldn’t change that much between two versions – however that’s why DX is superior to OpenGL, at least IMHO (was sooo much fun to read the reactions on the ogl3.0 release, which didn’t match the expectations).

Does that count? :) @Bjoern: I'm all about the simplicity. It's just a bit of a change to go from Effect.Begin-Pass.Begin-Draw-Pass.End-Effect.End to Pass.Apply-Draw. But it's a good change. @Andre: I have it spinning. Does that count? :)

Anyway, welcome to the native side :) The DX docs (and I include the XNA FX ones in there, too) have always been on the sparse side – I presume to support MVPs writing books about it ;) And I am a bit unsure whether the lack of a Begin/End pair on ID3D10EffectTechnique shocks me even the slightest: simplicity ftw!

I love the feeling of learning something new. Always good to meet someone with that same enthusiasm. Now, make it dance. I love the feeling of learning something new.
