I''ve noted that when putting vertices into a Vertex Buffer you they have to be in clockwise order. However, do they have to be if you are using Index Buffer? Can''t the Index Buffer specify the vertices index in clockwise order even if the vertices in the VB is in a different order?
For example, if I have the following:
v3-v4- v5
| \ | \ |
v0-v1- v2
They will be ordered in the VB in increasing order. That is,
pVertices[0] = v0;
pVertices[1] = v1;
...
pVertices[5] = v5;
And in the IB I will have:
pIndices[0] = 0;
pIndices[1] = 3;
pIndices[2] = 1;
pIndices[3] = 1;
pIndices[4] = 3;
pIndices[5] = 4;
pIndices[6] = 1;
pIndices[7] = 4;
pIndices[8] = 2;
pIndices[9] = 2;
pIndices[10] = 4;
pIndices[11] = 5;
Doing this with DrawIndexedPrimitive as TriangleList, I can''t see anything. I''m pretty sure the projection and everything are correct.
