C++ 3D DirectX Tutorial [COM (Component Object Model)]

C++ 3D game programming tutorial teaching how to build a 3D engine from scratch using DirectX (Direct3D 11) to leverage hardware acceleration.

This video covers fundamentals of COM that will make Direct3D easier to work with.

This video will be deffinitely a classic about COM stuff on youtube.

21:28 I have no words! That was hilarious! When I learned COM many moons ago I can tell you it was very dry, nothing like this video.

[supertacosauce]

dood. this is the first time ANYONE has been able to describe a real use for interfaces that makes sense to me. I know that's not the point of the vid, but THANK YOU.

[SCVillares]

My brain hurts, but your knowledge is so hypnotizing, cant stop watching.

[DIYMindset]

The best explanation of COM that does not even claim it in the title. My search was so exhaustive that I have watched each video with "COM" in its title.

[JohnDoe-rwur]

oh my god chilli iv watched probably 5-6 different d3d tutorial series and most of them never explain this shit, whereas you explain this with so much detail in such a clear manner! keep going this is absolutely amazing!

[dkslskdjtnelsp]

The basic fundamentals of COM and the inter-op with the windows API are so nuance that most programmers gloss over these abstractions on the regular. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL FOR ANY GOOD PROGRAMMER TO UNDERSTAND.

That's an God Damn Good Explanation on Interface Dude. That was Crystal Clear

[georgephillips]

This is easily the best COM video i've found on YT

Best C++ Tutorial I've ever seen. Simply THE BEST

[wiamfelths]

I know I'm a little bit late here learning DirectX 3D but these tutorials.... Damn! This is fu*king awesome. I've never seen such an extremly comprehensive content. I suddenly noticed that I indeed started speaking like the author does (you know what I mean 😉). So, Chili, I throw all my sincere gratitudes and respect to you. Please, be the catch struct and catch all of them to keep up good working. Thanks again!

[Conqueror]

back to 30-40min videos, fuck yeah! lets go! MOAR!

[razvanrotaru]

chilli, your videos are the best thing ever. it's the second time i'm watchin this series, I don't know how the others look like and I really couldn't care less. anyway, when I'll have childrun, you'll have more views

[AyeDaWut]

At the time of writing this playlist is ~4years old and is probably still the best resource for learning WinAPI and D3D. kudos dude!

[michawiadomski]

Thanks for this series dude, you're super skilled at teaching!

[Mafiadude]

I've been putting off learning COM (and ultimately DX11) for so long because I didn't understand this specific part. You just made this so easy for me to understand. It's not hard at all. Now I only have hard time with remembering macros and when to use const and bitflags

OpenGL: Everything is an unsigned integer
Direct3D: Everything is a pointer

[noahschierenbeck]

Just wanted to say that this playlist of directx introduction videos youve made is super helpful and entertaining!

[MrAlexg]

Thanks for the video chili! I've learnt about interfaces in the past, but you're able to teach the concept in such an entertaining manner that I decided to watch through the segment. Great job! 10/10 would punchable again

[liekkaslike]

As an Chinese, I have to say it is useful for me, I must to learn more, both English and computer science.
