第三類是設(shè)置渲染選項(xiàng)函數(shù)。其中UseMeshMaterials()函數(shù)用于設(shè)置是否使用網(wǎng)格模型自身的材質(zhì)和紋理進(jìn)行渲染，如果調(diào)用該函數(shù)并將參數(shù)m_bUseMaterials設(shè)置為TRUE，則在渲染時(shí)使用網(wǎng)格模型自身的材質(zhì)和紋理，這也是默認(rèn)資源，如果將參數(shù)m_bUseMaterials設(shè)置為FALSE，則在渲染時(shí)不使用網(wǎng)格模型自身的材質(zhì)和紋理，自然就使用當(dāng)前為Direct3D設(shè)置的材質(zhì)和紋理渲染網(wǎng)格模型。

void UseMeshMaterials( bool bFlag ) { m_bUseMaterials = bFlag; }

 

SetFVF()函數(shù)將網(wǎng)格模型克隆為參數(shù)dwFVF指定的靈活頂點(diǎn)格式：

HRESULT CDXUTMesh::SetFVF( LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pd3dDevice, DWORD dwFVF )
{
    LPD3DXMESH pTempMesh = NULL;

    if( m_pMesh )
    {
        if( FAILED( m_pMesh->CloneMeshFVF( m_pMesh->GetOptions(), dwFVF, pd3dDevice, &pTempMesh ) ) )
        {
            SAFE_RELEASE( pTempMesh );
            return E_FAIL;
        }

        DWORD dwOldFVF = 0;
        dwOldFVF = m_pMesh->GetFVF();

        SAFE_RELEASE( m_pMesh );
        m_pMesh = pTempMesh;

        // Compute normals if they are being requested and the old mesh does not have them.
        if( !(dwOldFVF & D3DFVF_NORMAL) && (dwFVF & D3DFVF_NORMAL) )       
            D3DXComputeNormals( m_pMesh, NULL );       
    }

    return S_OK;
}

代碼相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)潔明了，這里只對(duì)函數(shù)D3DXComputeNormals()進(jìn)行說(shuō)明：

Computes unit normals for each vertex in a mesh. Provided to support legacy applications. Use D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx for better results.

HRESULT D3DXComputeNormals(
  LPD3DXBASEMESH pMesh,
  CONST DWORD * pAdjacency
);

Parameters

pMesh

[in, out] Pointer to an ID3DXBaseMesh interface, representing the normalized mesh object. This function may not take an ID3DXPMesh progressive mesh as input.

pAdjacency

[in] Pointer to an array of three DWORDs per face that specify the three neighbors for each face in the created progressive mesh. This parameter is optional and should be set to NULL if it is unused.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is S_OK. If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA, E_OUTOFMEMORY.

Remarks

The input mesh must have the D3DFVF_NORMAL flag specified in its flexible vertex format (FVF).

A normal for a vertex is generated by averaging the normals of all faces that share that vertex.

If adjacency is provided, replicated vertices are ignored and "smoothed" over. If adjacency is not provided, replicated vertices will have normals averaged in from only the faces explicitly referencing them.

This function simply calls D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx with the following input parameters:

D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx( pMesh,
                           D3DX_DEFAULT,
                           0,
                           D3DX_DEFAULT,
                           0,
                           D3DX_DEFAULT,
                           0,
                           D3DDECLUSAGE_NORMAL,
                           0,
                           D3DXTANGENT_GENERATE_IN_PLACE | D3DXTANGENT_CALCULATE_NORMALS,
                           pAdjacency,
                           -1.01f,
                           -0.01f,
                           -1.01f,
                           NULL,
                           NULL);

函數(shù)SetVertexDecl()的功能與SetFVF()類似，只是SetVertexDecl()用于可編程流水線：

 

函數(shù)首先調(diào)用CloneMesh()以指定的頂點(diǎn)聲明方式來(lái)克隆網(wǎng)格模型：

    LPD3DXMESH pTempMesh = NULL;

    if( m_pMesh )
    {
        if( FAILED( m_pMesh->CloneMesh( m_pMesh->GetOptions(), pDecl, pd3dDevice, &pTempMesh ) ) )
        {
            SAFE_RELEASE( pTempMesh );
            return E_FAIL;
        }
    }

接下來(lái)檢查原網(wǎng)格中是否包含法線和切線信息：

    // Check if the old declaration contains a normal.

    bool bHadNormal = false;
    bool bHadTangent = false;

    D3DVERTEXELEMENT9 aOldDecl[MAX_FVF_DECL_SIZE];

    if( m_pMesh && SUCCEEDED( m_pMesh->GetDeclaration( aOldDecl ) ) )
    {
        for( UINT index = 0; index < D3DXGetDeclLength( aOldDecl ); ++index )
        {
            if( aOldDecl[index].Usage == D3DDECLUSAGE_NORMAL )           
                bHadNormal = true;
           

            if( aOldDecl[index].Usage == D3DDECLUSAGE_TANGENT )           
                bHadTangent = true;           
        }
    }

再接下來(lái)檢查克隆后的網(wǎng)格模型中是否包含法線和切線信息：

    // Check if the new declaration contains a normal.

    bool bHaveNormalNow = false;
    bool bHaveTangentNow = false;

    D3DVERTEXELEMENT9 aNewDecl[MAX_FVF_DECL_SIZE];

    if( pTempMesh && SUCCEEDED( pTempMesh->GetDeclaration( aNewDecl ) ) )
    {
        for( UINT index = 0; index < D3DXGetDeclLength( aNewDecl ); ++index )
        {
            if( aNewDecl[index].Usage == D3DDECLUSAGE_NORMAL )
                bHaveNormalNow = true;

            if( aNewDecl[index].Usage == D3DDECLUSAGE_TANGENT )            
                bHaveTangentNow = true;            
        }
    }

如果原網(wǎng)格中不包含法線信息，同時(shí)克隆后的網(wǎng)格模型中要求包含法線信息，且參數(shù)bAutoComputeNormals被設(shè)置為true（即要求自動(dòng)計(jì)算法線），則調(diào)用D3DXComputeNormals()計(jì)算法線：

    SAFE_RELEASE( m_pMesh );

    if( pTempMesh )
    {
        m_pMesh = pTempMesh;

        if( !bHadNormal && bHaveNormalNow && bAutoComputeNormals )
        {
            // Compute normals in case the meshes have them
            D3DXComputeNormals( m_pMesh, NULL );
        }

如果原網(wǎng)格中不包含切線信息，同時(shí)克隆后的網(wǎng)格模型中要求包含切線信息，且參數(shù)bAutoComputeTangents被設(shè)置為true（即要求自動(dòng)計(jì)算切線），則首先調(diào)用GenerateAdjacency()生成網(wǎng)格面鄰接信息，并調(diào)用D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx()來(lái)計(jì)算網(wǎng)格面切線：

        if( bHaveNormalNow && !bHadTangent && bHaveTangentNow && bAutoComputeTangents )
        {
            ID3DXMesh* pNewMesh;
            HRESULT hr;

            DWORD *rgdwAdjacency = NULL;

            rgdwAdjacency = new DWORD[m_pMesh->GetNumFaces() * 3];
            if( rgdwAdjacency == NULL )
                return E_OUTOFMEMORY;

            V( m_pMesh->GenerateAdjacency(1e-6f, rgdwAdjacency) );

            float fPartialEdgeThreshold;
            float fSingularPointThreshold;
            float fNormalEdgeThreshold;

            if( bSplitVertexForOptimalTangents )
            {
                fPartialEdgeThreshold   = 0.01f;
                fSingularPointThreshold = 0.25f;
                fNormalEdgeThreshold    = 0.01f;
            }
            else
            {
                fPartialEdgeThreshold   = -1.01f;
                fSingularPointThreshold = 0.01f;
                fNormalEdgeThreshold    = -1.01f;
            }

            // Compute tangents, which are required for normal mapping
            hr = D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx( m_pMesh, 
                                            D3DDECLUSAGE_TEXCOORD, 0, 
                                            D3DDECLUSAGE_TANGENT, 0,
                                            D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, 
                                            D3DDECLUSAGE_NORMAL, 0,
                                            0, rgdwAdjacency, 
                                            fPartialEdgeThreshold, fSingularPointThreshold, fNormalEdgeThreshold, 
                                            &pNewMesh, NULL );

            SAFE_DELETE_ARRAY( rgdwAdjacency );
            if( FAILED(hr) )
                return hr;

            SAFE_RELEASE( m_pMesh );
            m_pMesh = pNewMesh;
        }

 

D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx()的聲明如下：

Performs tangent frame computations on a mesh. Tangent, binormal, and optionally normal vectors are generated. Singularities are handled as required by grouping edges and splitting vertices.

HRESULT D3DXComputeTangentFrameEx(
  ID3DXMesh * pMesh,
  DWORD dwTextureInSemantic,
  DWORD dwTextureInIndex,
  DWORD dwUPartialOutSemantic,
  DWORD dwUPartialOutIndex,
  DWORD dwVPartialOutSemantic,
  DWORD dwVPartialOutIndex,
  DWORD dwNormalOutSemantic,
  DWORD dwNormalOutIndex,
  DWORD dwOptions,
  CONST DWORD * pdwAdjacency,
  FLOAT fPartialEdgeThreshold,
  FLOAT fSingularPointThreshold,
  FLOAT fNormalEdgeThreshold,
  ID3DXMesh ** ppMeshOut,
  ID3DXBuffer ** ppVertexMapping
);

Parameters

pMesh

[in] Pointer to an input ID3DXMesh mesh object.

dwTextureInSemantic

[in] Specifies the texture coordinate input semantic. If D3DX_DEFAULT, the function assumes that there are no texture coordinates, and the function will fail unless normal vector calculation is specified.

dwTextureInIndex

[in] If a mesh has multiple texture coordinates, specifies the texture coordinate to use for the tangent frame computations. If zero, the mesh has only a single texture coordinate.

dwUPartialOutSemantic

[in] Specifies the output semantic for the type, typically D3DDECLUSAGE_TANGENT, that describes where the partial derivative with respect to the U texture coordinate will be stored. If D3DX_DEFAULT, then this partial derivative will not be stored.

dwUPartialOutIndex

[in] Specifies the semantic index at which to store the partial derivative with respect to the U texture coordinate.

dwVPartialOutSemantic

[in] Specifies the D3DDECLUSAGE type, typically D3DDECLUSAGE_BINORMAL, that describes where the partial derivative with respect to the V texture coordinate will be stored. If D3DX_DEFAULT, then this partial derivative will not be stored.

dwVPartialOutIndex

[in] Specifies the semantic index at which to store the partial derivative with respect to the V texture coordinate.

dwNormalOutSemantic

[in] Specifies the output normal semantic, typically D3DDECLUSAGE_NORMAL, that describes where the normal vector at each vertex will be stored. If D3DX_DEFAULT, then this normal vector will not be stored.

dwNormalOutIndex

[in] Specifies the semantic index at which to store the normal vector at each vertex.

dwOptions

Combination of one or more D3DXTANGENT flags that specify tangent frame computation options. If NULL, the following options will be specified:

Description	D3DXTANGENT Flag Value
Weight the normal vector length by the angle, in radians, subtended by the two edges leaving the vertex.	& !( D3DXTANGENT_WEIGHT_BY_AREA | D3DXTANGENT_WEIGHT_EQUAL )
Compute orthogonal Cartesian coordinates from texture coordinates (u, v). See Remarks.	& !( D3DXTANGENT_ORTHOGONALIZE_FROM_U | D3DXTANGENT_ORTHOGONALIZE_FROM_V )
Textures are not wrapped in either u or v directions	& !( D3DXTANGENT_WRAP_UV )
Partial derivatives with respect to texture coordinates are normalized.	& !( D3DXTANGENT_DONT_NORMALIZE_PARTIALS )
Vertices are ordered in a counterclockwise direction around each triangle.	& !( D3DXTANGENT_WIND_CW )
Use per-vertex normal vectors already present in the input mesh.	& !( D3DXTANGENT_CALCULATE_NORMALS )

 

[in] If D3DXTANGENT_GENERATE_IN_PLACE is not set, the input mesh is cloned. The original mesh must therefore have sufficient space to store the computed normal vector and partial derivative data.

 

pdwAdjacency

[in] Pointer to an array of three DWORDs per face that specify the three neighbors for each face in the mesh. The number of bytes in this array must be at least 3 * ID3DXBaseMesh::GetNumFaces * sizeof(DWORD).

fPartialEdgeThreshold

[in] Specifies the maximum cosine of the angle at which two partial derivatives are deemed to be incompatible with each other. If the dot product of the direction of the two partial derivatives in adjacent triangles is less than or equal to this threshold, then the vertices shared between these triangles will be split.

fSingularPointThreshold

[in] Specifies the maximum magnitude of a partial derivative at which a vertex will be deemed singular. As multiple triangles are incident on a point that have nearby tangent frames, but altogether cancel each other out (such as at the top of a sphere), the magnitude of the partial derivative will decrease. If the magnitude is less than or equal to this threshold, then the vertex will be split for every triangle that contains it.

fNormalEdgeThreshold

[in] Similar to fPartialEdgeThreshold, specifies the maximum cosine of the angle between two normals that is a threshold beyond which vertices shared between triangles will be split. If the dot product of the two normals is less than the threshold, the shared vertices will be split, forming a hard edge between neighboring triangles. If the dot product is more than the threshold, neighboring triangles will have their normals interpolated.

ppMeshOut

[out] Address of a pointer to an output ID3DXMesh mesh object that receives the computed tangent, binormal, and normal vector data.

ppVertexMapping

[out] Address of a pointer to an output ID3DXBuffer buffer object that receives a mapping of new vertices computed by this method to the original vertices. The buffer is an array of DWORDs, with the array size defined as the number of vertices in ppMeshOut.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is S_OK. If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA, E_OUTOFMEMORY.

Remarks

A simplified version of this function is available as D3DXComputeTangentFrame.

The computed normal vector at each vertex is always normalized to have unit length.

The most robust solution for computing orthogonal Cartesian coordinates is to not set flags D3DXTANGENT_ORTHOGONALIZE_FROM_U and D3DXTANGENT_ORTHOGONALIZE_FROM_V, so that orthogonal coordinates are computed from both texture coordinates u and v. However, in this case, if either u or v is zero, then the function will compute orthogonal coordinates using D3DXTANGENT_ORTHOGONALIZE_FROM_V or D3DXTANGENT_ORTHOGONALIZE_FROM_U, respectively.
