The screensaver framework is very similar to the sample application framework, using many methods and variables with the same names. After writing a program with the screensaver framework, one ends up with a fully-functional Windows screensaver rather than a regular Windows application. The Moire screensaver appears as a mesmerizing sequence of spinning lines and colors. It uses texture transformation and alpha blending to create a highly animated scene, even though the polygons that make up the scene do not move at all.]]></description>
<description><![CDATA[This sample application demonstrates how to use Microsoft DirectX Media Objects (DMO). It streams audio data from a WAV file through a DirectSound Audio Effect DMO to a DirectSound buffer. For DMOs which are processing data with one input and one output, where the media types of the input and output are the same, and the processing can be done in place, the IMediaObjectInPlace interface can be used. If a DMO supports this interface, DMODemo will call process() on this interface to process the data in place; otherwise, DMODemo will use methods of IMediaObject to process the data.]]></description>

Stencil buffers are a depth buffer technique that can be updated as geometry is rendered, and used again as a mask for drawing more geometry. Common effects include mirrors, shadows (an advanced technique), dissolves, etc.. Note that not all cards support all features for all the various stencil buffer techniques (some hardware has no, or limited, stencil buffer support). For more information on stencil buffers, refer to the DirectX SDK documentation.]]></description>

For more information on vertex blending, refer to the DirectX SDK documentation.]]></description>
<description><![CDATA[This sample shows some of the effects that can be achieved using vertex shaders. Vertex shaders use a set of instructions, executed by the 3D device on a per-vertex basis, that can affect the properties of the vertex (positions, normal, color, tex coords, etc.) in interesting ways. Note that not all cards may support all the various features vertex shaders. For more information on vertex shaders, refer to the DirectX SDK documentation.]]></description>
<description><![CDATA[The Volume Fog sample shows the per-pixel density volumetric rendering technique. The fog volume is modeled as a polygonal mesh, and the density of the fog at every pixel is computed by subtracting the front side of the fog volume from the back side. The fog is mixed with the scene by accumulating an in/out test at every pixel -- that is, back-facing fog polygons will add, while front-facing ones will subtract. If the value is non zero, then the scene intersects the fog and the scene's depth value is used. In order to get better results, this demo uses 12 bits of precision by encoding high and low bits in different color channels.]]></description>
<description><![CDATA[The VolumeTexture sample illustrates how to use the new volume textures in Direct3D. Normally, a texture is thought of as a 2D image, which have a width and a height and whose "texels" are addressed with two coordinate, tu and tv. Volume textures are the 3D counterparts, with a width, height, and depth, and are addressed with three coordinates, tu, tv, and tw. Volume textures can be used for interesting effects like patchy fog, explosions, etc. Note that not all cards support all features for volume textures. For more information on volume textures, refer to the DirectX SDK documentation.]]></description>

In addition to displaying a watermark (logo) in the bottom right corner of the window, this sample also demonstrates how to flip, mirror, manipulate alpha, and move a bitmap around in the application's video window.]]></description>
<description><![CDATA[The VolumeTexture sample illustrates how to use the new volume textures in Direct3D. Normally, a texture is thought of as a 2D image, which have a width and a height and whose "texels" are addressed with two coordinate, tu and tv. Volume textures are the 3D counterparts, with a width, height, and depth, and are addressed with three coordinates, tu, tv, and tw. Volume textures can be used for interesting effects like patchy fog, explosions, etc. Note that not all cards support all features for volume textures. For more information on volume textures, refer to the DirectX SDK documentation.]]></description>
<description><![CDATA[This sample is an interactive video player, which uses the Windowless mode of the DirectX 9 Video Mixing Renderer 9 to blend video and text. It uses the VMR9's IVMRMixerBitmap9 interface to blend text onto the bottom portion of the video window in a style similar to closed-captioning text. When the video file opens, Ticker creates a bitmap with a default text string and begins to scroll it across the bottom of the screen. You may change the scrolling text with the "Set Text String" dialog. You may adjust the font and color of the blended text by choosing the "Set Font" menu option.]]></description>

Note that not all cards support all features for all the various bump mapping techniques (some hardware has no, or limited, bump mapping support). For more information on bump mapping, refer to the DirectX SDK documentation.

<description><![CDATA[This sample is designed to show how to render streaming media (MPEG, ASF, AVI and other formats) into a D3D Scene using the Video Mixing Renderer 9 filter. The sample creates an object that implements IVMRSurfaceAllocator9 and IVMRImagePresenter9. The object takes over surface and texture allocation and rendering of the decoded frames into a Direct3D9 scene environment. For simplicity, the VMR9Allocator has just one 3D plane with 2 shaded vertices that is being rotated.
