Multidimensional graphics implementation using direct X API class library

Abstract EN

Several techniques or capabilities are provided by DirectX, each of which can add effects on the designed graphics by using special functions in the application or program that written to design that graphics.

Some of these capabilities are that, Lighting, Rotation, Texturing, Fog, Environment Mapping and Stencil Buffer capabilities.

In this research, implementation of two capabilities are produced, the first implementation is of the Texturing capability and show several states of texturing by using variables values of tu and tv texture coordinates.

The second implementation is of the Environment Mapping capability which shows how a shiny teapot is rotated and only one face of the skybox is reflected by it.

DirectX can be written in many programming languages, such as C, C + +, Visual C + +, and Visual Basic.

When using the DirectX capabilities in many applications, not all cards support all that capabilities at the implementation time, some of these like Lighting, Rotation and Texturing capabilities can be implemented with 64-Mega Byte VGA cards, but others like Fog, Environment Mapping and Stencil Buffer capabilities are implemented with 128-Mega Byte and over.
