Ripple Effect in Windows 8.1 Store Applications (C++/CLI)

The sample is a Windows 8.1 application demonstrating simple DirectX effect. This effect will produce a sinusoidal wave across a loaded image, like in a picture below. The code is from the patterns & practices DirectXRipple sample where I upgraded it to VS13, removed deprecated code, and cleaned it up a little. Here’s the solution […]

HDR Tone Mapping C++ DirectCompute Sample

The sample shows how to calculate average luminance of an image using parallel reduction, and then apply it to tone mapping. Additionally, blur and bloom effects can be calculated both on compute and pixel shaders (for comparison) and then rendered. It also demonstrates how to setup and run image post-processing on a compute shader, it modifies […]
