Vulkan

Simple repository where I document progress while learning the Vulkan API.

Files and their meaning:

• Cmaera.hpp & cpp - class representing orbit camera that contains calculations of Projection and View metrices

---

• Material.hpp & cpp - class representing single material formed by 3 textures, namely Albedo, Arm and Normal. It creates descriptor pools to allocate descriptors from as well as other useful abstraction

---

• DebugInfoLog.hpp - header file for more structured validation errors provided by Vulkan validation layer.

---

• Structs.hpp - definitions of structures and enums for stuff like Vertex, UnifromBufferObjects and GeometryType

---

• Utils.hpp - functions that are not directly related to the rendering. One can here find functions for picking right physical device, surface, presentation layer etc.

---

• VertexData.hpp - contains definitions for Vertex array and index array of various geometry packed together in VertexData namespace

---

• VulkanApp.hpp & .cpp - all Vulkan related stuff. From vkInstance creation to Swap chain presentation. Due to the Vulkan design it contains roughly 1500 lines of code.

---

• Shaders/compile.sh - bash script that compiles every vertex and fragment shader and puts them to the Compiled directory created by the script. Compiled shaders are in SPIR-V format.

---

• main.cpp - app instantiation

---

• VkNotes - directory that contains Obsidian vault with all my notes

Branches

Different branches contain important milestones like first triangle and some experiments like PBR shading
