DirectXTex, a shared source library for reading and writing .DDS files, and performing various texture content processing operations including resizing, format conversion, mip-map generation, block compression for Direct3D runtime texture resources, and height-map to normal-map conversion. This library makes use of the Windows Image Component (WIC) APIs. It also includes simple .TGA and .HDR readers and writers since these image file format are commonly used for texture content processing pipelines, but are not supported by a built-in WIC codec.

See this blog post for an overview.

DirectXTex has a vcpkg installation port as well.

Porting from D3DX

See this post for a complete listing of D3DX equivalents.

DirectXTex vs. DirectX Tool Kit

The DirectXTex library is designed a full-featured texture processing library that includes a sophisticated DDS file reader. This reader can handle numerous legacy formats and automatically performs required conversions. This makes it extremely useful in tools and content pipelines, but is far more code that is really needed for a game or application at runtime that loads 'cooked' textures.

Instead, a game or application should make use of DDSTextureLoader (DX9 / DX11 / DX12) and/or WICTextureLoader (DX9 / DX11 / DX12). These modules provide light-weight versions of texture creation from .dds, .bmp, .png, .gif, .jpg, .tif, and JPEG-XR / HD Photo files. ScreenGrab (DX9 / DX11 / DX12) is a light-weight screenshot capture utility for writing out the same file types.

These modules are included in DirectX Tool Kit (DX11 and DX12), and there are 'standalone' versions available in the DirectXTex distribution as well.

Xbox

The xtexconv sample also includes some auxiliary platform-specific functionality for Xbox One XDK / Microsoft GDKX development, which are in the Auxiliary folder. This includes functions for tiling & de-tiling textures, and a variant .DDS file reader/writer for storing tiled textures. The DirectX Tool Kit includes the XboxDDSTextureLoader DX11 / DX12 for using placement texture creation using this DDS file variant.

IHV compressors

The various video independent hardware vendors (IHVs) have their own texture toolsets as well.

AMD Compress and Compressonator
Intel ISPC compressors: BC6H, BC7
Intel Texture Works Plugin for Photoshop
NVIDIA Texture Tools
NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop

Note that the NVIDIA tools haven't been updated in some time, and are currently missing support for the DX10 header extension, BC6H, and BC7.

Support

For questions, consider using Stack Overflow with the directxtk tag, or the DirectX Discord Server in the dx12-developers or dx9-dx11-developers channel.

For bug reports and feature requests, please use GitHub issues for this project.

Security

The DirectXTex library functions are invoked by client code. While effort is made to validate parameters and arguments in code, the client code is responsible for validating any relevant user-input. The primary security focus for DirectXTex is the image loading code which process potentially untrusted content from disk/memory. When using Windows Imaging Component (WIC), that component has a strong security guarantee and validation story for security vulnerabilities. For the custom DDS, HDR, and TGA codecs, significant hardening and validation has been applied and the code is subject to file-fuzzing.

This project is subject to Microsoft's Open Source Security Policy.

For a list of known vulnerabilities, see GitHub.

Roadmap

Planned work is implementing DirectX12 features like the DirectCompute-based GPU BC6/BC7 codec (currently only supports DirectX 11), and an implementation of Standard Swizzle.

New command-line tools are planned texenvmap for generating various styles of environment maps, and textile for processing data for texture tiling.

Contributing

This project welcomes contributions and suggestions. Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. For details, visit https://cla.opensource.microsoft.com.

When you submit a pull request, a CLA bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and decorate the PR appropriately (e.g., status check, comment). Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.

Tests for new features should also be submitted as a PR to the Test Suite repository.
