Written by experts with decades of rendering experience, this cookbook equips you with practical, hands-on recipes to master modern 3D graphics development by using bindless Vulkan. Focusing on Vulkan 1.3, this second edition starts by setting up your development environment, and quickly transitions to building a robust 3D rendering framework using self-contained recipes. Each recipe helps you incrementally enhance your codebase, integrating a variety of 3D rendering techniques and algorithms into a cohesive project. You’ll get to grips with core techniques, such as glTF 2.0 physically based rendering, image-based lighting, and GPU-driven rendering. The chapters help you grasp advanced topics, including glTF animations, screen-space rendering techniques, and optimization strategies. You’ll also learn how to use glTF 2.0 advanced PBR extensions and handle complex geometry data, ensuring your rendering engine is both powerful and performant. These new additions will enable you to create dynamic and realistic 3D graphics environments, fully utilizing Vulkan’s capabilities. By the end of this 3D rendering book, you’ll have gained an improved understanding of best practices used in modern graphic APIs and be able to create fast and versatile 3D rendering frameworks.

The top of NVIDIA's consumer line, with a large frame buffer that pays off when lightbaking, rendering cinematics, iterating on heavy Nanite and Lumen scenes, or running local AI models. Overkill for most projects; justified for graphics-heavy teams and tooling work.

There is now a demo avaliable on our website made using Virtual3D. There are two downloads, one is fully raytraced(With reflections and shadows), the other is rasterizer only. #virtual3D #gamedev …

After a bit more debugging, i'm not quite sure if this padding or an Nsight bug:Nsight Screenshot: Buffer content Managed to get the computeshader to work (somewhat) correctly (although i …
4000 does seem weird, but I don't think it is problematic. Normally things have an alignment or offset of 16 (which 4000 does) or 32 (which 4000 does), sometimes by …
Why 4000? I could have understood 4096, being a power of two, allowing for shifts. But if it has to multiply anyway, then it could have just chosen the proper …
Ha, that's bad. Reminds me on the endless frustration i've had when trying to use structs with OpenGL compute shaders. When i moved to Vulkan, i never used structs again, …
I ran into an issue with the alignment/stride of SSBOs in compute shaders which are arrays of larger structs. I'm using a scalar alignment to make the mapping 1:1 as …
