Texture Mapping? - C# / C Sharp

Myk Quayce

I have a four-sided polygon that rotates and zooms as the user moves the mouse. Is there a way to incorporate a texture-mapped
image without DirectX? The GDI+ doesn't seem to support this.

Hmm...this is good question for microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing
NG, but I will try my best to answer it here.

Texture mapping is quite a complex process. While you can implement it
yourself (and this has been done by many game developers prior to wide use
of Direct3D), you should better stick to Direct3D as it provides an
optimized, hardware acceleration-aware texture mapping.

You could also try to play with GDI+ transforms, but I am not sure they work
well for bitmaps.

P.S. Why you are reluctant to using DirectX?
