# DirectXSwapper
**DirectXSwapper** is a lightweight DirectX proxy tool for **real-time mesh and texture extraction**, overlay rendering, and debugging in Direct3D9 games.
It now also includes **experimental support for Direct3D12** (64-bit only) with mesh export triggered via the `N` key (overlay not yet supported).
> [!Caution]
> This tool is intended solely for research and educational purposes.
> It allows exploration of level geometry not normally visible in-game.
> It is not designed for piracy or unauthorized asset distribution.
## Preview
## Project Updates
- **[06/08/2025]** Added **texture export** support for Direct3D9 – bound textures can now be saved as `.png`
- **[06/11/2025]** Critical fix: incorrect UV extraction resolved
- **[06/11/2025]** Added support for `D3DPT_TRIANGLESTRIP` primitive type
- **[06/27/2025]** Added **experimental Direct3D12 proxy support** for **64-bit games** – enabling early mesh extraction and resource logging for D3D12 titles
> ⚠️ Overlay is **not available yet** for D3D12.
> Press **`N`** during gameplay to export the currently rendered mesh.
## Features
- Extract mesh geometry to `.obj` files
- Save bound textures as `.png`
- In-game overlay using **ImGui** (D3D9 only)
- Live debug info and mesh filtering
- Minimal performance overhead
- Experimental support for Direct3D12 (64-bit games)
## Usage
### Direct3D9 Games
1. Build the project
2. Copy the proxy DLL (`d3d9.dll`) into the game folder (next to the `.exe` or inside the `bin/` directory)
3. Launch the game – a message box should appear confirming injection
4. Use the **ImGui** overlay to control capture
5. Press `C` to export the currently rendered mesh
6. View exported assets in the `Exported/` directory
7. View exported textures in the `Textures/` directory
### Direct3D12 Games (Experimental)
1. Build the project
2. Copy the proxy DLL (`d3d12.dll`) into the game folder (next to the `.exe`)
3. Launch the game – there is currently **no overlay**
4. Press `N` while in-game to export the currently rendered mesh
5. View exported assets in the `Exported/` directory
## Output
- Geometry: `.obj` files are saved to `Exported/`
- Textures: `.png` files are saved to `Textures/`
## Planned Features
- Full support for DirectX10 / 11
- Standalone injector application (no manual DLL copying)
- Export to `.glTF` format
- Overlay support for D3D12
