    • TextureViewD3D11Impl class is a wrapper over ID3D11View interface
    • Texture views are created by TextureBaseD3D11Impl::CreateViewInternal() method that calls  CreateSRV(), CreateRTV(), CreateDSV(), and CreateUAV() virtual method depending on the type of the view being created. The methods are implemented in derived classes and perform actions specific to the texture dimension (1D, 2D, or 3D)

Samplers

It also initializes static resource layout that only references static shader resources and static shader resource cache that keeps references to objects bound as static resources.

Shader Resource Management System

Shader resource management system in D3D11-based implementation comprises two main components: shader resource layout ( ShaderResourceLayoutD3D11 class) and shader resource cache ( ShaderResourceCacheD3D11 class). Shader resource layout defines how resources are mapped to shader registers. Shader resource cache provides space to keep references to objects bound as shader resources. The are two ways shader resource layouts and caches used in the system:

  1. Every shader object ( ShaderD3D11Impl) comprises an instance of shader resource layout to facilitate management of static shader resources
    • The layout object is bound to the shader resource cache that provides storage for object references
  2. Every shader resource binding object ( ShaderResourceBindingD3D11Impl) contains shader resource cache and shader resource layout of every active shader stage
    • Every resource layout object is connected to corresponding shader resource cache that provides storage for object references
