This project is a Vulkan-based renderer developed to demonstrate and assemble key components of the Vulkan API. It serves as a foundational framework for understanding and experimenting with Vulkan's capabilities in graphics rendering.
- Vulkan Integration: Utilizes Vulkan for high-performance, low-level graphics rendering.
- Model Loading: Supports loading and rendering of 3D models.
- Shader Management: Implements shader compilation and management for customizable rendering effects.
- Texture Mapping: Incorporates texture loading and mapping to enhance visual detail.
Prerequisites:
- A system with Vulkan-compatible hardware and drivers;
- C++14 compatible compiler;
- Visual Studio 2022;
- x86-64 based CPU;
In Visual Studio, right click on the project's name -> Properties -> C/C++ -> General.
Add
$(SolutionDir)/externals/GLFW/include;$(SolutionDir)/externals/GLM;<Path to your Vulkan installation>/Include;$(SolutionDir)/externals/ASSIMP/include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
to Additional Include Directories.
Note: you need to specify <Path to your Vulkan installation>/Include by yourself (it's in the line above), for example: D:/Vulkan/Include
In Visual Studio, right click on the project's name -> Properties -> Linker -> General.
Add
$(SolutionDir)/externals/GLFW/lib-vc2022;<Path to your Vulkan installation>/Lib;$(SolutionDir)/externals/ASSIMP/lib/Release;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)
to Additional Library Directories.
Note: you need to specify <Path to your Vulkan installation>/Lib by yourself (it's in the line above), for example: D:/Vulkan/Lib
In Visual Studio, right click on the project's name -> Properties -> Linker -> Input.
Make sure you have
vulkan-1.lib;glfw3.lib;assimp-vc143-mt.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)
in Additional Dependencies.
At this point, you should be ready to go.
