Port from OpenGL ES 2.0 to Direct3D 11
[This article is for Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.x developers writing Windows Runtime apps. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation]
Includes articles, overviews, and walkthroughs for porting an OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics pipeline to a Direct3D 11 and the Windows Runtime.
Note An intermediate step to porting your OpenGL ES 2.0 project is to use ANGLE for Windows Store. ANGLE allows you to run OpenGL ES content on Windows by translating OpenGL ES API calls to DirectX 11 API calls. For more information about ANGLE, go to the ANGLE for Windows Store Wiki.
