  • Usages for vkCreateHeadlessSurfaceEXT
    2 projects | /r/vulkan | 13 Jul 2023
    PS. I have tried to use vulkan-wsi-layer (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/vulkan-wsi-layer) to support the VK_EXT_headless_surface, and use sample in https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan to builed a headless version triange. However, it failed at acquireNextImage from the swapchain.

    Samples in https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan have shown how to use vkCreateHeadlessSurfaceEXT. But these headless samples crash at acquireNextImage from the swapchain. Now I guess the problem lies in the vulkan-wsi-layer.
  • Proper way to access a read-only texture that has no sampler from an hlsl compute shader?
    2 projects | /r/vulkan | 17 May 2023
    BTW, this problem can be reproduced as described below: - clone https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan.git - build the project and run it with arguments : -v - s hlsl to enable the validation layer and to use hlsl code - run ComputeShader project. The following validation error "Type mismatch on descriptor slot ..." will be shown in the console. - to fix it, as suggested above, you can replace the 3rd line of emboss.comp, sharpen.comp, and edgedetect.comp from: Texture2D inputImage : register(t0); //Creates validation errors to RWTexture2D inputImage : register(u0); //no validation errors (you'll then need to recompile the shaders to spv with a proper hlsl compiler such as Microsoft dxc)
  • Recommendations on how to start a small Vulkan project
    6 projects | /r/vulkan | 16 May 2023
    Another way I saw some projects start was by using example base classes (either Sascha Willems' implementations or the framework used by Khronos Samples).
  • I've been working on a real-time ray tracing renderer
    2 projects | /r/vulkan | 24 Apr 2023
    It's not a tutorial but I'd recommend Sascha Willems examples. A good next step could be adding models and shadows (see https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan/tree/master/examples/raytracingshadows). It's a single file but you can easily understand what each function does.
  • Add a second texture to Sascha Willems glftLoading app
    3 projects | /r/vulkan | 11 Apr 2023
    Exactly as u/aerorang said. I recommend comparing your linked example with Sascha's gtTF Scene rendering example where he adds a normal map along with the base albedo texture. He also marked important parts of the code with the POI keyword, so you can search for them in the code.

    Second, you need to learn the basics of Vulkan API, such as how to create instances, devices, queues, swapchains, command buffers, pipelines, shaders, etc. You can find some useful tutorials and examples on https://vulkan-tutorial.com/ , https://vkguide.dev/ , https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan34, etc.
  • Greetings. I went through the Vulkan tutorial, but I'm really stuck going beyond this point. Any word?
