The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Anybody know why V-EZ has not been updated in 5 years?
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.

Are there any good c examples?
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.

Writing Vulkan SPIR-V shaders in C++?
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

What is the proper way to link libvulkan.1.dylib ith cmake while avoiding issues with the installed vulkan SDK?
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
- I'm seeking for advice, after a month of learning Vulkan I feel like I'm going nowhere
-
Can I automate the first painful steps of vulkan?
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.

Vulkan Framework Design Question
I just discovered vk-bootstrap today, and it looks like it'll make initialization code much much easier.
-
Is there any simple layer (C/C++) which would take care of the long syntactic sugar?
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

Usages for vkCreateHeadlessSurfaceEXT
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.

offscreen rendering vs render to texture

Question about descriptor buffers.
Hi, I'm messing with descriptor buffers but I've came across certain issues I can't seem to solve. I'm using this tutorial as reference. I've tried UBOs and SSBOs, it works perfectly and there is no need to change the buffers offsets when recording a command buffer because I can access them by index like this:

Need help learning descriptor sets
Hi I am trying to learn Vulkan for an upcoming project and I have so far found everything to be straight forward if very verbose. I have now come to descriptor sets, layout bindings and the so forth and it's got more confusing than I can work out. I have been following this github repo for a headless compute example and it works fine as it is. But when I tried to add an additional storage buffer to the test shader than it comes with I am unable to copy the data over instead just getting a whole collection of 0's.

P.S. do you know of Sascha Willems’ code? https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan

Proper way to access a read-only texture that has no sampler from an hlsl compute shader?
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
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
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
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.
