I switched from SlimDX March to SlimDX September and not my 3D visualization that I created looks different. I didn't change anything on my end.

I don't know how to describe the change other than to say that there are black areas that mask part of the image. I don't see any changes in the SlimDX release notes that would explain this.

Are there SlimDX developers reading this that could shed some light? I had my visualization working perfectly in Managed DirectX and switched to SlimDX about 6 months ago and have had weird stuff like this happening ever since even though I am using the same methodology to render my images. Any help is appreciated in resolving this.

It sounds like there is something else going on here. Try debugging things with PIX to see what's wrong.

Thanks for the tip. I have never used PIX but will look into it.

Problem solved, although I don't know why it suddenly only became a problem with Sept 2011 SlimDX. The issue had to do with my view transform. Max distance was set to Z=327680 and my furthest point is hardcoded to have (0,0,327680). I changed my view to have a max distance of 327690 and the problem went away.
