Top 9 C++ vulkan-api Projects
-
bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
Project mention: What would be most beneficial to learn to get back up to speed? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-12-27Perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but I've had a reasonably good experience with bgfx. It's basically 1 level of abstraction above specific graphics APIs (GL, DirectX, etc). It is not a full game engine, just a rendering API.

Renderdoc works by inserting itself as a Vulkan layer, which means it can change the output of functions if it so chooses. As you can see in the RenderDoc version of vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices it changes how devices are returned, and this likely is the reason the order changes.
-
SonarQube
Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.

The-Forge
The Forge Cross-Platform Rendering Framework PC Windows, Linux, Ray Tracing, macOS / iOS, Android, XBOX, PS4, PS5, Switch, Quest 2
Project mention: What is the lightest C++ 3D game engine for Linux? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-23I haven't tried it, but I heard that this was used for Hades

Project mention: When we submit command buffer to graphics queue it will draw to swapchain images, then why do we need Framebuffer? | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-12-27
The Vulkan-Samples have a sample on how to use it: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/pull/394

Project mention: The deprecation of RenderScript is infuriating | reddit.com/r/androiddev | 2021-11-28
Until your users start complaining about the performance. If setting up Vulkan is your pain point (which, I can understand, it's a verbose chunk), libraries like liblava provide a very nice abstraction over things.

or https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp which help quite a bit. Or https://github.com/VcDevel/std-simd.
If you want GUIs, same, you have at least (but not only) Qt or WxWidgets.
Want to interface scripting? Pybind11, Boost.Python, WrenBind17 for Wren, Sol2 for Lua... and all things that interface to C work also if you feel brave...
I really think that when it is about getting the job done... C++ goes a long way towards the task.
This is my 20 year experience of C++, almost 13 of those years professionally. Now, back to read the paper. :)

Alternatively, you can create a view per mip and use a compute shader to compute the whole cube at once. This is what I have been doing
