Texture Interfaces

Applications that create an IDirect3D3 interface can take advantage of the new texturing features in Direct3D. Using IDirect3DTexture2 interface pointers, rather than texture handles, Direct3D can now perform multiple texturing if the user's hardware supports it. For more information, see Multiple Texture Blending.

This section presents information on creating and rendering with texture interface pointers in the following topics:
