I Did some more exercises from Directx 11 book. Chapter 11 The Geometry Shader had couple interesting exercises.<\/p>\n

First one was exercise 3 that asked to implement a simple explosion effect in geometry shader to an icosahedron where each triangle are translated to the direction of their face normal as a function of time. The geometry shader counts the face normal then translates the three vertices of the triangle. I added this to previous modified crate demo that had nice fire texture and changed also the box in it to icosahedron.<\/p>\n

Other exercises where drawing cylinder from circle in gs and subdividing icosahedron and also experimenting with tree billboards demo with different draw calls together with size of the quads and primitive id.<\/p>\n
