Introduction
DirectX is a Microsoft platform API for graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
It's used to create a wide range of applications, from games to desktop applications.
Key Concepts
- Layers: Define the visual properties of a surface.
- Material: Controls the appearance of a surface (color, reflectivity, etc.).
- Texture: Provides visual detail (e.g., wood grain, dirt).
- Shader: A program that runs on the GPU to determine how surfaces appear.
