Vulkan Rendering Pipeline Examples

Demo Preview

Repository contains set of example applications based on Vulkan API

VulkanRenderApp Visual Studio 2017 Solution:

Used technologies:

• GLFW (submodule reference)
• GLM ((submodule reference)
• OpenCV (submodule reference)
• Vulkan SDK v.1.1.73.0 (external dependency, see Build & Install for details)
• C++17 STD and STL libs (environment dependencies)
• Visual Studio 2017 C++ Compiler and Windows 10 SDK (environment dependencies)

CMake integration will be added after VulkanRenderApp stabilization

Features in progress:

• Add SPIR-V shader integration (Integrate auto-align of shader text size)

• Add rendering of .OBJ models

• Add mipmaps in pipeline

• Add tessellation control shaders

• Add Scene graph file format

• Add UI scene visualization controls

• Simple OpenCV texture pre-processing

• Integrate Cross-platform sound library

These resources are being used in development process of VulkanRenderApp application:

• Vulkan Tutorials

• Vulkan Cookbook

• Vulkan Programming Guide

• Build & Installation

  • Using of examples required Visual Studio 2017.5 Community Edition and Windows 10 SDK pre-installed

    • Clone your local copy of the repository

    • Install LunarG Vulkan SDK into directory with the same level as repository folder

      • For ex.,
      • |-..
      • |- repository-dir
      • |- VulkanSDK

    • Compile GLFW static library

      • Uncheck BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
      • Uncheck GLFW_INSTALL
      • Use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX with the same path as glfw module in your local repository copy

    • Open src\win-platform\vulkan-rendering-sandbox-app-vs2017\VulkanRenderApp.sln and Build solution

    • Launch example application from VS IDE or compiled file
