A small application demonstrating Shadows, Bump Mapping, Anti-Aliasing and a Quaternion Camera under DirectX 10. Besides using the keyboard and mouse to navigate through the scene, there's also a journey mode in which the camera automatically traverses control-points on the basis of a Catmull-Rom interpolation. Furthermore, the view's direction follows a spherical linear interpolation.

| ESC | Exit |
| W, S, A, D | Move camera front (W), back (S), left (A) or right (D) |
| Arrow Keys | Move light front (↑), back (↓), left (←) or right (→) |
| Mouse movement | Change view direction |
| Q, E | Roll camera left (Q) or right (E) |
| SPACE | Save current position as control-point for interpolated camera journey |
| ENTER | Start interpolated camera journey (requires at least 4 saved control-points |
| 1 | Activate Bump Mapping and Shadow Mapping |
| 2 | Activate Shadow Mapping only |
| 3 | Enable wireframe mode |
| 4 | Disable wireframe mode |
| 5 followed by 6 | Toggle Multisampling anti-aliasing (MSAA); Sample-Count at beginning: 8x |
What you need for compiling:
- Visual C++ or rather Visual Studio 2010 or above
- DirectX SDK June 2010 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812)
