Something offtopic: It's very useful that the last comment is displayed on the main page!

Hey if you put your subwoofer on the floor it should sound a lot better. High frequency speakers are better placed up high and low frequency speakers are better placed down low.

Re the fullscreen clear update:
Instead of clearing the stencil buffer for each light could you not just increment the stencil reference value?
(ie use
dev->SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILREF, i+1);
instead of
dev->SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILREF, 1);

(or is there something going on that I am missing? (only allowing 255 lights etc?))

strop,
Unfortunately that's not possible. Shaders doesn't carry any render state attributes. You could however if you're writing a game engine bake it into your own scripting language.

I totally agree with your last post Humus. It's sad to see that some people seem to be unable to tell the difference between a joke and a serious statement. I think those hardcore fanboys are just so blinded by the "love" for their own company that they can't participate in an objective discussion. I don't say that it isn't good to support a company, but you must be able to look at the facts.

Humus, I would like to ask you if this technique can be used automatically in a future HLSL compiler. I mean: it's possible that a 'if statement for dynamic branching' can always be replaced in the way you have done, when a programmer compiles with SM < 3.0 profile?
