Tutorials and Samples

The SDK provides several sources of sample code.

• Tutorials are built from the ground up and contain only those API calls necessary to exercise Direct3D functionality.
• Samples demonstrate the lastest features of Direct3D 9 as well as functionality that is fundamental to using Direct3D. All of the Direct3D samples are built on top of DXUT.
• The HLSL Workshop uses effects files designed in high-level shader language (HLSL).
