Seems I have not updated site for a long time. So today I'm presenting maintenance update to Delphi examples supplied
for DirectX 8.0 and 8.1 SDK’s. This update fixes some minor problems due to desyncronization of examples and
DirectX headers. Now all examples and common framework needed to compile them are supplied in single all-in-one WinRAR SFX
archive thus minimizing download size and raising easy-on-use experience.
Note: Full descriptions of examples are still accessible for each of them.
PS. In near time frame expect update to DirectX 9.0 SDK Delphi examples syncronizing them with Summer 2003 Release
of DirectX SDK.

The ClipMirror
demonstrates the use of custom-defined clip planes.
A 3D scene is rendered normally, and then again in a 2nd pass as if reflected
in a planar mirror. Clip planes are used to clip the reflected scene to the
edges of the mirror.
Sample hasn't changed since 8.1 version of SDK, it's just straight DX9 adaptation.
