effects with Dx

Sorry, but this is as general of a question as asking "How do I make video games with C++?"

My answer is if you don''t know, you probably don''t know enough of DX to make it if someone told you how.

If you are familiar with DX, give us some more info.

Which leads us to a different question. How much programming do you know? Are you using Direct Draw, or D3D?

I suggest checking out CGShaders.org, NVidia, and ATI - each site is packed with examples and demo programs that show you fire effects, rolling clouds, cel-shading, etc.
