No, the stuff on NVIDIA site are native DirectX. But the code is not that hard to read and then port to XNA.

Hi there,

I’ve downloaded this file (http://http.download.nvidia.com/developer/GPU_Gems_2/CD/Content/18.zip), but it’s not working with xna 3.1 I think. Any help? Thanks

Sorry, I won’t provide the source code for these demos, since it’s not very tidy

Looks great!
Any chance you will provide source code of both demos?

That’s odd.. I tried running it on several machines, with various cards, ranging from GeForce 6600, 7300, 8600 and 8800, and I encountered no problem.

Do other XNA apps run on the other systems?

Since my last post i had the possibity to try to run the demo on other systems. Turns out that it didn’t even run on SM 4.0 hardware (in fact, it didn’t start on *any* system i tried to run it). It’s always the same: “FileNotFoundException”. What file was missing it wouldn’t tell, though….

You need SM 3.0 for the Godswood, because it uses Vertex Textures for the snow.

Hi Catalin,

i can’t get the Godswood app to run… what SM version does the app require? what xna runtime version? I’ve installed the XNA 2.0 runtime, the gc supports SM2.0.

The water technique is based on this article, which explains it pretty well:

Also, you can download their original sample, with source code here:
