Followed the Vulkan tutorial to implement a simple graphics pipeline with Vulkan.
- Graphics pipeline from creation to presentation
- Proper error and warning with the standard validation layer VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation
- Examine device properties to create Vulkan instances of physical device, logical device and queue
- Integrate with GLFW to create window surface for presentation
- Create FIFO swap chain and image views to host rendered images and present to the window
- Set up render pass and record commands in command buffer
- Create structures to bind vertex/index buffer and MVP matrices to the device
- Minimal vertex and fragment shaders compiled with glslc to render textured geometry
- Handle resizing through swap chain recreation
- OBJ file loading and rendering through tinyobjloader
- Texture image mipmapping generation through vkCmdBlitImage
- Multi-sampling up to the device's maximal sample counts for color and depth buffers
The application is created with Visual Studio 2019 in a Windows 10 (Macbook Bootcamp). After opening the repo with Visual Studio, correct the header and library dependency paths as instructed in the original tutorial - Development Environment.
