I have a question ,when I learn DirectX12,that how to generate Mipmaps on DirectX12.

For example,I create a resource to store depth value on GPU.When I need to write data to this resource,I can bind RTV or DSV to this resource.Then,I want to use this texture resource to render in second pass.For better filter,I hope this texture resource has Mipmaps.What should I do to achieve this purpose on DirectX12 ?

I remember that DirectX11 has GenerateMips() method. Does DirectX12 have similar method ? If not, how to generate mipmaps on DirectX12? Compute Shader?

Thanks very much for your reading! And I look forward to your reply.

From microsoft.com:

Fixed function rendering

In Direct3D 11 there were a few methods that simplified various higher level operations, such as GenerateMips (creating full mip chains) and DrawAuto (using stream output as shader input without further input from the app). These methods are not available in Direct3D 12, the app needs to handle these operations by creating shaders to perform them.

@PAM79 Awesome! Thanks for your answer!

@JoeJ I appreciate your answer! I already know how to use mipmaps in DirectX12.
