Since Node is (almost) there, here is a deploy for lates DX11 version.

As usual, changes, new nodes… So let’s go :

Bug fixes

• Small fix on topology on some edge switch cases.
• PerVertexDrawer was not always updating properly.
• Fix null error on StreamOut renderer buffer Pin
• Texture FX was unlocking some reources twice sometimes, which resulted in really weird situations, now sorted.
• Fix issue with gsfx when sending nil on view/projection pins.
• RWByteAddressBuffer was not bound properly for compute shader usage
• Small memory leak fix on TextLayout node joreguser
• Indirect Drawers/Dispatch nodes now all have a Buffer version
• SetSlice (DX11.TextureArray) : Fix mip slice set to all by mistake
• Renderer (DX11 Buffer.Raw) : Index and Vertex Buffer binding were not applied properly

Changed Nodes

• Cylinder now has a “Center Y” Pin
• ViewPort (DX11) now had a default size of 1
• Info (DX11) also shows the name of the graphics card that is currently in use.
• Now uvspace annotation for transforms will default to the same behaviour as in dx9 (eg: Y is inverted). Set invy=false to go back to same old behaviour.
• Renderer (DX11.MRT) : clear pin and background color can now bet set per target.
• Renderer (DX11 Buffer.Raw) : Allow binding as Argument Buffer as well
• Geometry resolution minimum value set to avoir negative inputs joreguser

New nodes

• SegmentZ (DX11.Geometry): segment with Z extrusion
• StencilReference (DX11.layer): to allow to set reference value for stencil writes/tests.
• ViewportArray (DX11.Layer) : Allows to bind an array of viewports to rasterizer stage (in pixel space)
• Mesh (Geometry Split) : Allows to split an assimp mesh
• Info (DX11.Texture 1d) : Same as per 2d/3d counterpart
• IndexOnlyDrawer (DX11.Drawer) : Allows to ignore vertex buffers and send a draw call with index buffer only.
• Sampler (DX11) : Presets for sampler states as per other states nodes.
• RenderSemantic (DX11.Layer Color) : To set a color as render semantic
• Reset Counter (DX11.Layer) : Allows to enable/disable counter resets for buffers that support this feature)
• BlendTarget (DX11.RenderState Advanced) : Allows to set blend state per render target.
• AttachDispatcher (DX11.Layer) : Allows to attach dispatch buffers at layer level
• AsGeometry (DX11.Buffer Advanced) : Quite complicated node that allows flexible RawBuffer to geometry binding.

Girlpower

• Many overviews update from joreguser
• New dx9 modules ported to dx11 by robotantonuser
• New tfx, samples from uncuser, too many to enumerate them ;)

Misc

• Running vvvv.exe /dx11mode:nvidia will try to auto select nvidia card for optimus setup
• Dynamic texture nodes will nos send a warning in case user tries to upload a 3 channel texture (which is not recommended), since samplers are not allowed on those. There is also a suppress warning pin to avoid tty spam in case you know what you are doing ;)
• Shader nodes now also send a warning to tty in case of invalid layouts.

That’s about it, see you @node15
