texCoord(  texX, texY, texZ , texW ) means texture coordinate after transforming from the texture matrix [ position goes through world, view, projection, and texture ] . We can use this texCoord to fetch pixels from a texture, sampler : 1.  float4 color = tex2D( sampler,  float2( texX / texW, texY/texW ); 2.  float4 color = tex2Dporj( sampler, float4( texX, texY, texZ, texW ) ); The above two methods will have the same result because tex2Dproj operator supports divide w in its interface. http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=408894 http://bbs.gameres.com/showthread.asp?threadid=104316

In OGRE Engine, you should have a 3D texture and was implemnted in fixed function. material Examples/VTDarkStuff {     technique     {         pass         {             diffuse 0.0 0.0 0.0             ambient 0.1 0.1 0.15             cull_hardware none             lighting on         }            } }

When I use different format render target in deferred lighting. D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8 is better than D3DFMT_A16B16G16R16F when you don't have precision issue. I have 530 vs. 487 FPS experiment result.
