This is a native Direct3D 11 implementation of the built-in BasicEffect from XNA Game Studio 4 (Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.BasicEffect
) which supports texture mapping, vertex coloring, directional vertex lighting, directional per-pixel lighting, and fog.

Header
#include <Effects.h>
Initialization
Construction requires a Direct3D 11 device.
std::unique_ptr<BasicEffect> effect;
effect = std::make_unique<BasicEffect>(device);
For exception safety, it is recommended you make use of the C++ RAII pattern and use a std::unique_ptr
or std::shared_ptr
Interfaces
BasicEffect supports IEffect, IEffectMatrices, IEffectLights, and IEffectFog
Input layout
This effect requires SV_Position
, NORMAL
if lighting is enabled, COLOR
if per-vertex colors are enabled, and TEXCOORD0
if texturing is enabled.
Properties
-
SetDiffuseColor: Sets the diffuse color of the effect. Defaults to white (1,1,1). Alpha channel (.w component) is ignored.
-
SetEmissiveColor: Sets the emissive color of the effect. Defaults to black (0,0,0).
-
SetSpecularColor: Sets the specular color of the effect. Defaults to white (1,1,1).
-
SetSpecularPower: Sets the specular power of the effect. Defaults to 16. Settings power to 0 can cause strange rendering artifacts.
-
DisableSpecular: Disables the specular lighting for the effect. Sets the color to black (0,0,0) and power to 1.
-
SetAlpha: Sets the alpha (transparency) of the effect. Defaults to 1 (fully opaque). This value is also used for binning opaque vs. transparent geometry.
-
SetColorAndAlpha: Sets the diffuse color of the effect and the alpha (transparency).
-
SetVertexColorEnabled: Enables per-vertex color. Defaults to false. Modifying this setting requires recreating associated input layouts, and enabling it requires
COLOR
. -
SetTextureEnabled: Enables texturing. Defaults to false. Modifying this setting requires recreating associated input layouts, and enabling it requires
TEXCOORD0
. -
SetTexture: Associates a texture shader resource view with the effect. Can be set to nullptr to remove a reference. Can optionally include an alpha channel as well.
-
SetBiasedVertexNormals: Enables support for compressed vertex normals which require
*2 - 1
biasing at runtime such asDXGI_FORMAT_R10G10B10A2_UNORM
.
Example
Here is an example of creating and using a basic effect instance:
std::unique_ptr<DirectX::BasicEffect> basicEffect;
When creating device-dependent resources:
basicEffect = std::make_unique<BasicEffect>(device);
basicEffect->EnableDefaultLighting();
basicEffect->SetDiffuseColor(Colors::Red);
basicEffect->SetFogColor(Colors::CornflowerBlue);
basicEffect->SetFogStart(fogstart);
basicEffect->SetFogEnd(fogend);
basicEffect->SetTexture( texture.Get() );
When the window size is changed is where you typically set the projection:
basicEffect->SetProjection(projection);
A view matrix is computed based on user input and camera settings:
basicEffect->SetView(view);
Then to render:
basicEffect->SetWorld(world);
basicEffect->Apply(context);
context->OMSetBlendState(states->AlphaBlend(), Colors::White, 0xFFFFFFFF);
context->OMSetDepthStencilState(states->DepthDefault(), 0);
context->RSSetState(states->None());
ID3D11SamplerState* samplers[] = { states->LinearWrap() };
context->PSSetSamplers(0, 1, samplers);
context->IASetVertexBuffers(...);
context->IASetIndexBuffer(...);
context->IASetPrimitiveTopology(...);
context->DrawIndexed(...);
When dealing with lost device (if required):
basicEffect.reset();
Remarks
This effect implements the classic diffuse Lambertian shading with Phong specular highlights lighting model.
