Ugly Textures in the Distance

Question

I'm here with another question about direct 3d 11 (sharpdx). My terrain engine is working good, but theres a problem with texture mip maps or filter which I can't figure out :/

The problem is basic. Near, the textures look OK:

Far away they're kinda ugly?

Loading it:

 internal Texture2D CreateTexture2DFromBitmap(BitmapSource bitmapSource) { int Byte = bitmapSource.Size.Width * 4; using (var buffer = new DataStream(bitmapSource.Size.Height * Byte, true, true)) { bitmapSource.CopyPixels(Byte, buffer); var tex = new Texture2D(device, new Texture2DDescription() { Width = bitmapSource.Size.Width, Height = bitmapSource.Size.Height, ArraySize = 1, BindFlags = BindFlags.RenderTarget | BindFlags.ShaderResource, Usage = ResourceUsage.Default, CpuAccessFlags = CpuAccessFlags.None, Format = SharpDX.DXGI.Format.R8G8B8A8_UNorm_SRgb, MipLevels = 1, OptionFlags = SharpDX.Direct3D11.ResourceOptionFlags.Shared, SampleDescription = new SharpDX.DXGI.SampleDescription(1, 0) }, new DataRectangle(buffer.DataPointer, Byte)); return tex; } }

Rendering it:

 public override void Create(long assetID, Importeur content, DeviceContext context) { try { _diffuseTexture = content.LoadTexture(assetID, TextureType.DiffuseMap); context.GenerateMips(_diffuseTexture.MapView); context.PixelShader.SetShaderResource(0, _diffuseTexture.MapView); } catch (Exception e) { throw e; } }

Filter:

var samplerStateDescription = new SamplerStateDescription { AddressU = TextureAddressMode.Wrap, AddressV = TextureAddressMode.Wrap, AddressW = TextureAddressMode.Wrap, Filter = Filter.Anisotropic, MaximumLod = float.MaxValue, MinimumLod = 0 };

Finally got it working, the problem was a thread block code line from my engine.

Thanks for helping!

ID3D11DeviceContext::GenerateMips method

If the base resource wasn't created with D3D11_BIND_RENDER_TARGET, D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE, and D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_GENERATE_MIPS, the call to GenerateMips has no effect.

However, if we also look at the documentation for the D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_FLAG enumeration we see the following remark:

D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED
Enables resource data sharing between two or more Direct3D devices. The only resources that can be shared are 2D non-mipmapped textures.

So you basically have two problems:

You're not setting D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_GENERATE_MIPS, so you can't use GenerateMips, but,
You are setting D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED which is illegal to use with mipmapped textures.

To resolve, and assuming that you don't actually need D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED (it's not clear why you're setting it), you need to replace this:

OptionFlags = SharpDX.Direct3D11.ResourceOptionFlags.Shared

With the SharpDX equivalent of D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_GENERATE_MIPS; probably something like this:

OptionFlags = SharpDX.Direct3D11.ResourceOptionFlags.GenerateMips

(Unfortunately the SharpDX documentation is a bit lacking in this regard, but you should be able to figure it out.)

If however you do need D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED then you're out of luck.

Hello, thank you for your answer. I have set the OptionFlags to this now (see above) but it still throws the wrong parameter error :/ — Kerbo Games

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/… D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED Enables resource data sharing between two or more Direct3D devices. The only resources that can be shared are 2D non-mipmapped textures. Any reason why you're setting this flag? — Maximus Minimus

Yeah i was setting it resource sharing - for multiscreen engine views - like u said. But even if i removed it now, it still throws that error! It just wont work :(( — Kerbo Games

Well lets just forget the multlple resource sharing. But with the config above it should work - but still: Wrong Parameter!!! This is making me crazy :D — Kerbo Games

Well i didnt fixed it yet - but i will accept ur answer cause it helped me alot! I think i will find the solution :) Thank u very much for ur help! — Kerbo Games
