// Load the cube texture.
m_CubeTexture =
ShaderResourceView.FromFile(m_Device,Application.StartupPath
+ "\\Brick.png");
// Create a SamplerDescription
SamplerDescription sd = new
SamplerDescription();
sd.Filter = Filter.MinMagMipLinear;
sd.AddressU = TextureAddressMode.Wrap;
sd.AddressV = TextureAddressMode.Wrap;
sd.AddressW = TextureAddressMode.Wrap;
sd.ComparisonFunction = Comparison.Never;
sd.MinimumLod = 0;
sd.MaximumLod = float.MaxValue;
// Create our SamplerState
m_CubeTexSamplerState =
SamplerState.FromDescription(m_Device,sd);
As you can see, the first line loads our cube texture. As mentioned before, this is
just the red brick tile from our 2D demo back in Chapter 3 , Rendering 2D Graphics
. Next, we create a sampler description, which we will use to create a sampler state
to use with our cube texture. Most of the properties of the SamplerDescription
are beyond the scope of this text. And finally, the last line creates a SamplerState
for our cube texture. Now that our cube texture is set up, we are ready to update the
scene in our UpdateScene() method.
Updating the scene
Next, we need to modify our UpdateScene() method. First, we need to add the fol-
lowing code after the if statement at the top of this method:
// Keep the cube rotating by increasing its
rotation amount
m_CubeRotation += 0.00025f;
