Course Description

We shall be working on coceptual and practical level of DirectX. We shall be working on DirectX 11.2. DirectX is rendering API by Microsoft. Direct3D is a part of DirectX. DirectX is a collection of APIs for handling tasks related to multimedia, game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the names of these APIs all began with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. The name DirectX was coined as shorthand term for all of these APIs and soon became the name of the collection. When Microsoft later set out to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology.

We will be working on DirectX and will be using C++ as the language of choice. For a better understanding, we need to know Vector Algebra and others, We need Windows8, Visual Studio 2013, Windows HDK. DirectX comes along with Windows HDK.

We will start with creating a simple window. Then we will move on to create triangles. We will create quads and different primitives like Cube. We will learn how to rotate cube, add texture, add lights to the cube.

Very good, i understood everything i hope the rest of the course is so good as well

By Liam Tingle on 11/2/2020

The code he writes isn't consistent. one minute the code will be one thing then the video cuts to new code that isn't explained. Lots of content missing. Also, this course is just ripped from directXTutorial.com. Would not recommend it!

By Shammi Seth on 10/2/2020

usage of constant buffer is actually quite good. Also the explanation of math is very good. i would request you to make a course on advance topics in direct x like cube maps / env maps, normal maps, terrain, collision, procedural generation etc.

By Terri Muharsky on 7/28/2020

Pros: Very informative, concise and clearly spoken. Instructor is clearly very well versed in the subject and makes things simple. Pace is good. Cons: Presentation is very scholastic, lecture style and therefor not terribly engaging. Maybe not many ways to make interesting but a white-board lecture is ...meh?

the code was done well and it explained as best as it could be

So far, the course feels incomplete. There is a reference to C++/CX, but it isn't in the class. The instructor in the Windows App Initialization had buggy code and fixed it in the video rather than preparing. Seems to be very disorganized.

hasta el momento es un curso, las explicaciones son muy buenas

By Arnaud Gout on 6/26/2017

Profonde révision de l'algèbre vectoriel et matriciel, ce qui est un must si vous ne le connaissez pas avant d'aborder l'informatique graphique. Malheureusement, de nombreuses imprécisions mathématiques et coquilles peuvent parfois semer la confusion. De plus, le professeur passe un temps conséquent à écrire à la main sur paint, ce qui n'est à mon avis pas la meilleure façon de dépenser son temps de cours.

By Samuel Egger on 12/13/2016

The content seems pretty good so far. The instructor explains a lot of details about DirectX and explains the concepts. Its a shame though that there are whole lectures missing. The instructor for example mentions at several points a lecture on C++/CX. But this lecture is not available at all. Thats why I can not give full points. Furthermore, there is no Q&A Support by the instructor and there are no Quizes. A great plus on the other hand are the lectures on basic math for 3D programming with DirectX.

very simply explained the vector operations and clear examples of graphical use of them.
