- CubeMapGS Sample
- The CubeMapGS sample demonstrates rendering a cubic texture render target with a single DrawIndexed call using two new features in Direct3D 10: render target array and geometry shader. A render target array allows multiple render target and depth stencil textures to be active simultaneously. By using an array of six...

- ParticlesGS Sample
- This sample implements a complete particle system on the GPU using the Direct3D 10 Geometry Shader, Stream Output, and DrawAuto. Particle system computation has traditionally been performed on the CPU with the GPU rendering the particles as point sprites for visualization. With Geometry Shaders, the ability to output arbitrary amounts...

- DisplacementMapping10 Sample
- This sample implements displacement mapping by ray tracing through geometry extruded from a base mesh. The sample uses Direct3D 10 and the geometry shader to extrude prisms which are then decomposed into three tetrahedra for each triangle in the mesh. The pixel shader ray traces through the tetrahedra to intersect...

- PipesGS Sample
- This sample implements two vine generation algorithms on the GPU using the StreamOut capabilities of the Geometry Shader and DrawAuto. The vines for VinesGS are generated using two algorithms. The first algorithm starts the vines at the face centers of random mesh faces and grows the vines away from the...

- Progressive Buffers: View-Dependent Geometry and Texture LOD Rendering
- This paper introduces a view-dependent level of detail rendering system designed with modern GPU architectures in mind. The approach keeps the data in static buffers and geomorphs between different LODs using per-vertex weights for seamless transition. The authors' method is the first out-of-core system to support texture mapping, including a...

- MotionBlur10 Sample
- This sample implements motion blur using the geometry shader to extrude fins from the original mesh. The MotionBlur10 sample implements motion blur using a geometric approach combined with order independent transparency through the use of AlphaToCoverage and with anisotropic texture filtering.

- Cooperative Diversity in Wireless Networks: A Geometry-Inclusive Analysis
- Cooperation between physically separated wireless nodes can achieve the high Signal-to-Noise Ratio SNR diversity gains characteristic of multi-antenna arrays. Simulations indicate that such gains are still achieved for SNRs in the range of practical interest for several applications. Cooperation further yields SNR gains in addition to diversity gains. In contrast...
