Book DescriptionVulkan is now an established and flexible multi-platform graphics API. It has been adopted in many industries, including game development, medical imaging, movie productions, and media playback but learning it can be a daunting challenge due to its low-level, complex nature. Mastering Graphics Programming with Vulkan is designed to help you overcome this difficulty, providing a practical approach to learning one of the most advanced graphics APIs. In Mastering Graphics Programming with Vulkan, you'll focus on building a high-performance rendering engine from the ground up. You'll explore Vulkan's advanced features, such as pipeline layouts, resource barriers, and GPU-driven rendering, to automate tedious tasks and create efficient workflows. Additionally, you'll delve into cutting-edge techniques like mesh shaders and real-time ray tracing, elevating your graphics programming to the next level. By the end of this book, you'll have a thorough understanding of modern rendering engines to confidently handle large-scale projects. Whether you're developing games, simulations, or visual effects, this guide will equip you with the skills and knowledge to harness Vulkan's full potential.What you will learn [*]Understand resources management and modern bindless techniques
[*]Get comfortable with how a frame graph works and know its advantages
[*]Explore how to render efficiently with many light sources
[*]Discover how to integrate variable rate shading
[*]Understand the benefits and limitations of temporal anti-aliasing
[*]Get to grips with how GPU-driven rendering works
[*]Explore and leverage ray tracing to improve render quality
Who this book is for This book is for professional graphics and game developers who want to gain in-depth knowledge about how to write a modern and performant rendering engine in Vulkan. Familiarity with basic concepts of graphics programming (i.e. matrices, vectors, etc.) and fundamental knowledge of Vulkan are required.
