A collection of DirectX 11 code samples to create 3D graphics in Windows.
NVIDIA Direct3D SDK is a collection of DirectX 11 code samples which compliments the latest line of NVIDIA GPU products and graphics adapters.
The SDK includes a number of interesting samples of how to create 3D graphics with Microsoft DirectX 11 including motion blurs, anti-aliasing, FXAA, shadows, filters, etc. NVIDIA Direct3D also includes ocean rendering.
The collection download is rather large and an excellent set of examples on how to code with some of the newer techniques.
