- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoDid things change with DX12? Just asking because this article is quite clear about how DirectX is all about COM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/prog-dx-with-com https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/prog-dx-with-... > The Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) is an object-oriented programming model used by several technologies, including the bulk of the DirectX API surface. For that reason, you (as a DirectX developer) inevitably use COM when you program DirectX.
