It’s been a little while since last DirectX11 update, so since beta33.1 is out let’s sync the boys and have a one day release.

Most work on last build has been to fix bugs, but of course there are some new nodes/options/examples.

So here is the (non) exhaustive changelog:

Bug fixes:

• Fix render states not resetting properly if an error was caused during render
• Fix Mip change on temp target renderer (was not locking the right texture).
• Fix memory allocation issue on Quad layer node (from azeno)
• Dynamic buffers should be faster in most cases, same speed in worst case, and consume less memory.
• DynamicTextures (Value and Color) : now upload correctly for small textures, faster upload, better memory handling in both cases.
• FrameDelay will send a warning if it is fed a depthbuffer, but won’t crash
• Fix issue in BubbleNoise texture fx
• Shared Texture fix for 64 bits.
• Fix texture coordinates in Polygon geometry
• Bone matrices from models were not transposed
• Fix memory leak in gsfx and autolayout. Also reduced the frequency for layout rebuild.
• TextLayout node was not updating on enums change (alignment)
• Texture FX can now use iterations at pass level.
• Fixed issue (on alpha build only, with TextureFX resource release)
• Fix issue in topology node not updating at times.
• Fix bounding box not copied on geometry shallow copies
• Fix Nil issue on dynamic buffers
• Fix Line (DX11) module crashing on ATI
• Fix Sampler pin on shaders not changing correctly.

Changed nodes:

• Writer Nodes (Texture 1/2/3d) now have a create folder toggle (disabled and hidden by default)
• Texture Array Renderer has option to bind the whole render target instead of do one pass per slice (so slice selection can be done in Geometry shader).
• Texture Array renderer can now create mips

New nodes:

• Viewport validator (selects on viewport at object level).
• SelectViewport (DX11.Layer), replacement for Transformation index pin (removed)
• DispatchIndirect
• RawBuffer renderer
• Skeleton Assimp loader node
• Add Renderer (DX11.Buffer Advanced) which also allows to create counter buffers.
• Writer (DX11.Texture 1d)
• Renderer (DX11.StreamOut)
• DepthPipet module from unc
• Pipet module from unc
• DistortFlow texture fx from unc
• Lomograph texture fx from unc
• InputElement Join Advanced
• All bullet nodes, in both 32 and 64 bits flavour

Girlpower:

• Dispatch indirect sample
• Fix some examples so they could work on sm4/sm4.1 thanks joreguser
• more examples from joreguser, check overview in girlpower root
• Sampler State example
• Depth Pre pass example
• Depth rebind example

Side note 1:

Please submit bugs here, this is much easier for me to track (it’s very easy for your bug to be lost in forum within 2 days): https://github.com/mrvux/dx11-vvvv/issues

Side note 2:

If a few kind users would like to give me a hand for help patches/girlpower examples please manifest yourselves ;)
