Initially I was planning to use this snippet to update the TextureCube variable in the shader
ID3DX11EffectShaderResourceVariable * cMap; cMap = skyboxShader->GetVariableByName("gCubeMap")->AsShaderResource(); cMap->SetResource(fullcubemap);
But it seems that has no effect, and in fact, without the following line, the sphere I'm using for the cubemap textures with a texture used with another object in the scene, so perhaps there's something going on here? I'm not sure what though.
immediateContext->PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, &fullcubemap);//textures
Edit: Probably not the above, realised that if this wasn't updated, the old texture would be applied as it's never wiped after each draw.
Edit: Tried the cubemap with both a sphere and a cube, still the same texture issue.
Edit: Tried loading the shader resource view differently
D3DX11_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO loadSMInfo; loadSMInfo.MiscFlags = D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_TEXTURECUBE; ID3D11Texture2D* SMTexture = 0; hr = D3DX11CreateTextureFromFile(device, L"cubemap.dds", &loadSMInfo, 0, (ID3D11Resource**)&SMTexture, 0); D3D11_TEXTURE2D_DESC SMTextureDesc; SMTexture->GetDesc(&SMTextureDesc); D3D11_SHADER_RESOURCE_VIEW_DESC SMViewDesc; SMViewDesc.Format = SMTextureDesc.Format; SMViewDesc.ViewDimension = D3D11_SRV_DIMENSION_TEXTURECUBE; SMViewDesc.TextureCube.MipLevels = SMTextureDesc.MipLevels; SMViewDesc.TextureCube.MostDetailedMip = 0; hr = device->CreateShaderResourceView(SMTexture, &SMViewDesc, &fullcubemap);
Still produces the same output, any ideas?
