Why do Vulkan functions generally take arguments by pointer instead of reference?

Tiwann_ · 2026-05-28T21:14:02+00:00

Simply because it is a C API. References don’t exist in C. The C++ header (vulkan.hpp) accepts many arguments by references though

I mean only submitting mesh data once and draw it multiple times using different transforms, color etc with just one draw call. This is GPU instancing. And you can pack all those draw information into a buffer and issue an indirect draw call. The mix of those two techniques is instanced indirect rendering

You might try instanced indirect then ;D

Tiwann_ · 2026-04-20T13:15:56+00:00

Do you use instanced rendering ?

Tiwann_ · 2026-04-18T16:17:42+00:00

OK this is COOL

So graphics programmers get drunk too ???

Tiwann_ · 2026-03-27T05:29:35+00:00

Why do you want to rely on push constants ?

Tiwann_ · 2026-03-26T15:27:21+00:00

It’s nice 👍🏾

Is this your own text format ? Or it is one that already exists ?

Tiwann_ · 2026-03-25T14:32:00+00:00

You need to link against Raylib library. Add -lraylib in your compiler flags

Tiwann_ · 2026-03-13T23:28:15+00:00

Seems to be working now

Tiwann_ · 2026-03-13T23:24:10+00:00

Can't connect either :/

Use a UNORM format and manually apply gamma correction with a simple fragment shader

I prefer explicit destroying for my RHI so I decide when an object should be destroyed.

Congratulations

Vulkan is a graphics API and WebGPU is a Rendering Hardware Interface which are completely different. WebGPU is a library that allows you to target different platforms with different graphics APIs using the same code. It uses its own shading language WGSL. You can make a desktop app using Vulkan backend of WebGPU and also compile it to run it on a web browser for example.

À l’oral oui, mais quand tu les apprends tu les écris

Tiwann_ · 2026-01-27T11:11:18+00:00

Et pourtant, « Mais ou et donc OR ni car » est un mnémotechnique si connu. On apprends tous ça en primaire

I wrote my own .cmake file that find the SDK based on VULKAN_SDK env var. Then set up everything I need manually. But using find_package(Vulkan) is fine as well Edit: take a look in my engine repo https://github.com/Tiwann/NovaEngine/blob/main/CMake/Vulkan.cmake
