awesome-vulkan VS vk-bootstrap

there are: - OpenSceneGraph ( and vsg ) - Ogre3D - Magnum - A plethora of them here, here and here.

I do wish the authors had picked a somewhat more distinct name. Being so close to the official Vulkan Compute seems dubious. Looking at the awesome-vulkan list, very few projects are named like vulkan-blah.

If you are hellbent on going with vulkan, however, then I would reccomend looking around here: https://github.com/vinjn/awesome-vulkan

There are several libraries which try to 'make vulkan easier' to varying degrees of success, you'll have to decide if they are right for you. Hers a decent list of various vulkan libraries and projects. https://github.com/vinjn/awesome-vulkan

I recently asked about something similar. AFAIK in terms of convenience layers, only vk-bootstrap is still maintained, other than vulkan.hpp bindings. There's also vookoo but it's rarely updated.

A shameless plug: here's a link to my repo https://github.com/jammymalina/vkbasicapp that could get you started. It's a WIP and far from done. The code is relatively structured, I got the inspiration from vk-bootstrap and I am Graphics And So Can You blogpost.

Great answer. Wanted to add on vk-bootstrap, does a lot of the initialization boiler plate for you: https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap

Try this project: https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap

It looks like the issue was on how I was using a library to load vulkan https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap/issues/83

vkguide is probably what you want, but in case you don't want to start your code with a guide, you can use vk-bootstrap to get started faster, it's what's used in vkguide.

I just discovered vk-bootstrap today, and it looks like it'll make initialization code much much easier.

For what you are asking, vk-bootstrap is a library that mostly handles the very first 300-400 lines of vulkan code. https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap
