1. Rotation Matrix |
Hi everyone! I've been using this code for years when setting up my world matrix for my meshes: D3DXMatrixRotationX( &matRotX, Coords.Rotate.x ); D3DXMatrixRotationY( &matRotY, Coords.Rotate.y ); D3DXMatrixRotationZ( &matRotZ, Coords.Rotate.z ); D3DXMatrixScaling( &matScale, Coords.Scaling.x, Coords.Scaling.y, Coor... |
2. Rotating Face Normals |
Thanks, the problems was with my reflection code. Thanks for your help anyways! David |
3. Rotating Face Normals |
OK, I've tried the following: [CODE] D3DXMATRIX matRotX, matRotY, matRotZ, matRotTotal; D3DXMatrixRotationX( &matRotX, pMeshCoords->Rotation.x ); D3DXMatrixRotationY( &matRotY, pMeshCoords->Rotation.y ); D3DXMatrixRotationZ( &matRotZ, pMeshCoords->Rotation.z ); matRotAll = matRotX * matRotY * matRotZ; D3DXMatrixInv... |
4. Rotating Face Normals |
Hi everyone I wonder if anyone has any insight into this. Is rotating a Face Normal any different to rotating a Vertex? I don't seem to be getting the correct results when applying a matrix transform to a face normal. I've tried using [b]D3DXVec3TransformNormal[/b] instead of [b]D3DXVec3TransformCoord[/b] but the d... |
5. Hi everyone! I'm using DXUT as a basis for my main loop. I have a separate thread running during loadup which loads all the textures, models etc. When I turn V-Sync on the loading on the other thread slows down dramatically. If I turn V-Sync off it loads much faster. This seems odd to me as I thought V-Sync would ... |
6. Sending A Hash List |
Excellent! Thanks for the info! David |
7. Sending A Hash List |
OK, so lets say I max out the buffer and the send() function only queues half the data that I sent to it. What's the best way to handle this? Do I have to keep retrying the send with the remaining data? Is there a way to make it only queue the data if the full buffer is accepted because I'd rather not have to hang ... |
8. Sending A Hash List |
Thanks for your quick reply! OK, maybe I'm not understanding how this works. I'm sending data using the send() function. Does it matter how often I make calls to this function? Once I've made a connection to the server can I send data as fast as I like without worrying about hammering the server or overloading any ... |
9. Sending A Hash List |
Hi everyone! I need to send a Hash List from a client to a server and was wondering on the best way to do this. I have a connection to the server and can send data fine but I was wondering how I should handle the procedure. I'm using TCP and was wondering if I could just get the client to just fire the data one Has... |
10. Anaglyph DirectX 9 |
OK, I've fixed the issue. From what I've read you can't use AA when rendering to a texture directly. Instead you have to render to another surface and then copy it over to the textures surface.

11. Anaglyph DirectX 9 |
I am using some draw order tricks to create some of the layers in the game. But you can see the keys on the board here are not taking the Z-Buffer into consideration at all here for some reason. It does seem odd this only happens when AA is enabled. With AA: [img]http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy233/thekiwimadd... |
12. Anaglyph DirectX 9 |
The colours are quite important in the game and I can make out the colours fairly well. The Red and Blue notes are obviously the hardest to see but they are spaced apart so it's not likely that you would mistake one for the other. However, I've been thinking about changing the shape of the notes for each colour to ... |
13. Anaglyph DirectX 9 |
OK, these glitches I'm getting seem to be releated to Anti-Aliasing. I've been reading and many people have been saying that this doesn't work with mutiple render targets. Is this just for when you are rendering to 2 targets at once? or does that include what I'm doing by switching targets but only rendering to 1 a... |
14. Anaglyph DirectX 9 |
Ahh, thanks that worked! Thanks everyone for their time I really appreciate all of your help! I'm getting a few render glitches for some reason but you can see it working! [img]http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy233/thekiwimaddog/ps_anaglyph.png[/img] Thanks Again! David |

[quote name='Tom KQT' timestamp='1334682957' post='4932195'] Nope, it won't darken the result - don't forget that you are blending 50 % of the second image with the "full" first image. The result is 50 % of the first + 50 % of the second, which gives "100 %". If you have the proper blending operation: device->SetRe... |

7 Foods That Are Ruining Your Workouts |
Fueling up before a game, practice or workout can take your performance to the next level, but don't consume the wrong stuff. |
Fueling up before a game, practice or workout can take your performance to the next level, provided you're loading the right stuff onto your plate. Chow down on the wrong stuff, however, and your best-laid plans could go to waste. Trust us, the last thing you want to do is head to the bathroom between wind sprints. The... |
The poster child for a healthy meal, "a salad is healthy, but not the best choice before a workout," says Erica Giovinazzo, RD and a coach at Brick CrossFit in New York. "All those veggies are high in fiber, and fiber slows down digestion. This could lead to bloating and gas during your workout." |

Hot Sauces and Spices |
Sprinting down the sideline is hard enough, but add a few teaspoons of Tabasco to your stomach and it'll be darn near impossible to finish without tossing your lunch. "Many athletes report that spicy foods can cause heartburn or that the food will 'talk back' if consumed right before a workout," says Pam Nisevich, MS, ... |
Fried Foods |
Fried foods are generally tough on the stomach, but they can be especially detrimental before exercise. "High fat items like fried food take longer to digest, so you're likely to feel weighed down and sluggish if you eat these foods right before a workout," says Nisevich. "Also, fat relaxes the sphincter between the st... |
"[Other] examples of foods high in fat and low in carbs include chips, cookies and pizza," adds Joy Dubost, RD. |

You might think a jolt of sugar before a game might help you blitz past defenders, but Tara Ostrowe, RD, team sports nutritionist for the New York Giants, suggests otherwise. "Avoid anything high in sugar content before a workout or game," she advises. "Sugar will spike your insulin levels and will cause your body to b... |
Creamy Foods and Sauces |
If you know it's going to "sit in your stomach" for a few hours after you've eaten, you definitely don't want to chow down on it before exercise. "Cream-based foods and sauces can cause gastrointestinal distress such as bloating and heartburn," Ostrowe says. "High fat foods will slow you down and prevent optimal perfor... |
A slab of fatty meat is not a good bet for athletes, and it's even worse if you're priming yourself for performance. "Even though the protein is great, a burger is high in fat, and fat can take a few hours to digest," Giovinazzo says. "High fat foods, even if they're very healthy choices like avocado, can stay in your ... |

Whole Grains |
Whole grains are another choice that athletes usually feel comfortable about loading onto their plates, but should avoid before exercise. "Right before working out is not a good time to consume [fiber]," says Nisevich. "That's because fiber acts as a broom in the GI tract, and too much of a good thing can wreck havoc o... |

Empaths: Use your Gut Feelings for Better Intuition |
As empaths, how can we better use our gut feelings to promote intuition? |
Western medicine completely ignores an additional “brain’ that can help us develop better intuition: the gut, much to our detriment. The gut area is the home of the enteric nervous system. There are about 100,000,000 neurons in the small intestine alone, which is more than is in the spinal column. |
Furthermore, messages moving upward from the gut to the brain outnumber messages moving down from the brain to the gut by 9 to 1! The enteric nervous system, which includes the large intestine, the anus, the stomach, and the umbilicus (belly button), is the body's truth detector. It takes our experiences, eliminates th... |
Here’s a Tip to receive the wisdom that resides in your gut: |
Here's the protocol: |
1) Drop your awareness from you head to your gut and notice the quality of energy. |
2) Make thought contact with the gut and treat it as if it were a person. Thank it for its help and protection all these years. Ask the solar plexus chakra, which is a part of your gut, to remain open, and visualize the chakra being open in your mind's eye. |
3) Ask the chakra what color energy it wants to support it. Ask the Universe for that frequency of energy to be sent to the solar plexus chakra. Notice what this does to your chakras. Spend a few minutes running this color of energy. |
4) Thank your gut. Close this exercise by asking for it to send you feelings and messages throughout your day. |
The exercise above is just one foundational step in our empath empowerment system that we practice in the Empath Academy, which is a 4-week long empath empowerment immersion experience done over a teleseminar line (so you can join us wherever you are in the world). We do this 4 times a year (February, May, August, and... |
If you would like to find a home with people who feel just like you, and to learn to use a system to become empowered, shield yourself from the energy of others, and develop better intuition, then the Empath Academy is for you. |
Here’s what Karen in San Antonio, Texas has said about the Empath Academy: "Thank you Dr. Smith for the most profound experience of my life to date! For those of you who are on the fence about the Academy, I suggest you take that leap ASAP! It will help you to better understand yourself & your abilities; in addition ... |
Until next time, |
Much blessings, |
Dr. Michael Smith |

1. Welcome, Jane! Those photos look different from the rash I get from gluten - but mine hasn’t been confirmed as DH by a skin biopsy, and I don’t want to hazard a guess about someone else’s rash based on photos, and risk misleading you. Hopefully your doctor’s appointment will be helpful! However, on a totally diffe... |
2. Do antihistimines make DH worse? |
It's encouraging that you stopped being so sensitive to gluten-free packaged foods with time, Victoria1234! I live in an entirely gluten-free household, fortunately, so we have no worries about cc here. My daughter and I both had trouble with gluten free foods made in shared facilities, even those testing below 20p... |
3. Do antihistimines make DH worse? |
Thanks for your reply, squimingitch - and I'm so glad you're safe from Irma! You got me thinking about iodine again, and that may be the culprit. I had been so happy with the huge improvement after going gluten free that a little itch now and then was tolerable. But I haven't really been avoiding iodine aside from ... |
4. Hi folks! For those with confirmed DH, do antihistimines make it worse? I'm trying to figure out an unpleasant puzzle. I've been strictly gluten free for over four years. It took a couple years of eliminating all processed foods for symptoms to resolve, but finally I've been feeling amazingly good for the past yea... |
5. Hi folks! I haven't posted in a while because my daughter and I are both doing great since we removed a few certified gluten free products from our diet last spring that had trace gluten below 20ppm. In a roundabout way the rise and fall of my daughter's blood tests along with my reaction to trace gluten cc (befor... |
6. Sorry you're going through this, and I hope you get to the bottom of it soon! Some kids may just be more sensitive to trace amounts than others. A similar thing happened with my daughter (who's now 6), and we ended up finally getting her tTG down by eliminating several certified gluten-free flours that I was using... |
