Discover how to build impressive 3D graphics with the next-generation graphics APIVulkan
About This Book- * Get started with the Vulkan API and its programming techniques using the easy-to-follow examples to create stunning 3D graphics
- * Understand memory management in Vulkan and implement image and buffer resources
- * Get hands-on with the drawing process and synchronization, and render a 3D graphics scene with the Vulkan graphics pipeline
This book is ideal for graphic programmers who want to get up and running with Vulkan. Its also great for programmers who have experience with OpenGL and other graphic APIs who want to take advantage of next generation APIs. A good knowledge of C/C++ is expected.
What You Will Learn- * Learn fundamentals of Vulkan programing model to harness the power of modern GPU devices.
- * Implement device, command buffer and queues to get connected with the physical hardware.
- * Explore various validation layers and learn how to use it for debugging Vulkan application.
- * Get a grip on memory management to control host and device memory operations.
- * Understand and implement buffer and image resource types in Vulkan.
- * Define drawing operations in the Render pass and implement graphics pipeline.
- * Manage GLSL shader using SPIR-V and update the shader resources with descriptor sets and push constants.
- * Learn the drawing process, manage resources with synchronization objects and render 3D scene output on screen with Swapchain.
- * Bring realism to your rendered 3D scene with textures, and implement linear and optimal textures

I dedicate this to my sweet baby girl, Raskeerat, who was born at the same time as we started this project. With a little baby onboard, it's challenging to write a book; I am grateful to my beloved wife Gurpreet Kaur and my family for helping me deliver this project to the community.
I extend my gratitude to Mr. Ulrich Kabatek and the entire graphics team of Continental Automotive; every member of the team had something to offer me to scale my vision of graphics. I am grateful to Blackmagic Design, who helped me extend my horizon to take GPU programming to a whole new level. I express my regards to Mohit Sindhwani and the whole of Quantum Invention's team. It was a great pleasure to work for them and also was a wonderful learning experience.
I am highly indebted to Chris Forbes from Google; his expertise in the graphics domain has raised the bar of this title. I am highly impressed with his reviews and the quality of work he delivered. Chris reviewed this title inch-by-inch and helped us not only to improve the contents but also our understanding of the concepts with his detailed explanation.
Last but not the least, I am thankful to the entire division of Packt, especially Sachin Karnani, who constantly remained involved during the production of this title. Murtaza Tinwala, who brilliantly exhibited his content management and technical skills during the final stages. I'm really happy to have them work with me on this book.
Chris Forbes works as a software developer for Google, working on Vulkan validation support and other ecosystem components. Previously he has been involved in implementing OpenGL 3 and 4 support in open source graphics drivers for Linux (www.mesa3d.org), as well as rebuilding classic strategy games to run on modern systems (www.openra.net).

This book is all about learning Vulkan from scratch. Vulkan is a next-generation cross-platform graphics and compute API. Despite being a successor of OpenGL API, it is a completely fresh approach to redesigning an API from the base that meets the competitive demand of consumers and works very close with the underlying GPU hardware. Vulkan is a software interface that is capable of controlling GPU hardware settings to harness the power of paralleling computing. The driver layer in Vulkan is really thin and puts more responsibilities on the shoulders of an application programmer to manage the application, its resources, memory management, synchronization, and more; this explicit nature of Vulkan makes it verbose. This book allows the beginner to learn such topics in baby steps, covering each chapter with an easy-to-follow companion example. The chapters are laid out in an incremental fashion; each chapter is built on top of the previous one, exposing the modular difference to our readers.
The Vulkan API certainly requires some level of computer graphics or computing knowledge prior to starting programming on it, as many of the concepts or terminologies are very general and directly used throughout this book.
This book is very practically oriented and prepared with an objective to allow its readers to learn Vulkan theory, concepts, and API specification, and see them in action through companion examples. There are plenty of references throughout the book that help readers to refer to the related concept, helping them to recap the fundamentals as they proceed through.
