It s been awhile since I last blogged, Here I am again, back and ready to jump into action.This is the start of a new chapter and some more research into WPF and Direct3D(My most loved part about the DirectX APIs). Windows Presentation Foundation is an API that allows the users thereof to create vector based applications. The underlying rendering engine is Direct3D.The nice thing and a very good benefit of using WPF for your future GUI s is the fact that it uses Direct3D as it s rendering engine. In turn this will offload most of the processing of your UI s(User Interface) to the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and take some load off of your CPU (Central Processing Unit). GDI/GDI+ currently doesn t do this and may place some unnecessary strain on your CPU to process your logic and the rendering of the UI. Through my research I will get back into the jist of writing Direct3D Applications and demo s and just get to grips with WPF. Stay tuned.Share this post:email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!
