[译]Vulkan教程(05)Instance Creating an instance 创建一个instance The very first thing you need to do is initialize the Vulkan library by creating an instance. The instance is the connection between your application and the Vulkan library and creating it inv…

[译]Vulkan教程(24)索引buffer Index buffer 索引buffer Introduction 入门 The 3D meshes you'll be rendering in a real world application will often share vertices between multiple triangles. This already happens even with something simple like drawing a rectangle…

[译]Vulkan教程(21)顶点input描述 Vertex input description 顶点input描述 Introduction 入门 In the next few chapters, we're going to replace the hardcoded vertex data in the vertex shader with a vertex buffer in memory. We'll start with the easiest approach of creat…

[译]Vulkan教程(20)重建交换链 Swap chain recreation 重建交换链 Introduction 入门 The application we have now successfully draws a triangle, but there are some circumstances that it isn't handling properly yet. It is possible for the window surface to change such tha…

[译]Vulkan教程(16)图形管道基础之总结 Conclusion 总结 We can now combine all of the structures and objects from the previous chapters to create the graphics pipeline! Here's the types of objects we have now, as a quick recap: Shader stages: the shader modules that…

[译]Vulkan教程(14)图形管道基础之固定功能 Fixed functions 固定功能 The older graphics APIs provided default state for most of the stages of the graphics pipeline. In Vulkan you have to be explicit about everything, from viewport size to color blending function. In this…

[译]Vulkan教程(10)交换链 Vulkan does not have the concept of a "default framebuffer", hence it requires an infrastructure that will own the buffers we will render to before we visualize them on the screen. This infrastructure is known as the swap chai…

[译]Vulkan教程(09)窗口表面 Since Vulkan is a platform agnostic API, it can not interface directly with the window system on its own. To establish the connection between Vulkan and the window system to present results to the screen, we need to use the WSI (W…

[译]Vulkan教程(08)逻辑设备和队列 Introduction 入门 After selecting a physical device to use we need to set up a logical device to interface with it. The logical device creation process is similar to the instance creation process and describes the features we wan…

[译]Vulkan教程(07)物理设备和队列家族 Selecting a physical device 选择一个物理设备 After initializing the Vulkan library through a VkInstance we need to look for and select a graphics card in the system that supports the features we need. In fact we can select any number…
