Annex A: Sample Applications

A.1   OVERVIEW

The functionalities of the two sample applications used in the experiments described in this book are detailed below. They were used as the main rendering processes that were modified for implementation of a closed-loop feedback control system.

A.2   PROGRESSIVEMESH SAMPLE*

This ProgressiveMesh sample shows how an application can use the D3DX progressive mesh functionality to simplify meshes for faster rendering. It is a specialised mesh object that can increase or decrease its geometry complexity, thereby providing flexibility when drawing a mesh so that performance can be maintained at a steady level. This feature is useful when providing LoD support. (Note: The simplification algorithm used ...
