Render States

This section introduces the concept of render states, contrasting them to texture stage states, and discusses the various render states in detail. Information in this section is organized into the following topics:

• About Render States
• Current Texture
• Antialiasing States
• Texture Addressing State
• Texture Wrapping State
• Texture Borders
• Texture Perspective State
• Texture Filtering State
• Outline and Fill States
• Shading State
• Fog State
• Alpha States
• Texture Blending State
• Culling State
• Depth Buffering State
• Ramp State
• Subpixel Correction State
• Plane Masking State
• Color Keying State
• Render Command Batching State
• Stencil Buffer State

Note that the discussions in the topics listed here present techniques for controlling the rendering states when using the IDirect3DDevice3 interface, which supports the DrawPrimitive methods. When using execute buffers under the IDirect3DDevice interface, the rendering states are controlled using the D3DOP_STATERENDER opcode.
