Direct3D 10.1 Tech Preview

В августовском DirectX SDK появился Direct3D 10.1 Tech Preview. Ничего неожиданного он не принес:

• TextureCube Arrays which are dynamically indexable in shader code.
• An updated shader model (shader model 4.1).
• The ability to select the MSAA sample pattern for a resource from a palette of patterns, and retrieve the corresponding sample positions.
• The ability to render to block-compressed textures.
• More flexibility with respect to copying of resources.
• Support for blending on all unorm and snorm formats.

Для его установки требуется поставить Windows Vista SP1 Beta.
