Creating 3D applications, such as games, benchmarks or CAD tools, usually requires, from a rendering perspective, the preparation of various resources, including meshes or textures, drawing multiple objects on the scene, and implementing algorithms for object transformations, lighting calculations, and image processing. They all can be developed in any way we want, in a way that is most suitable for our purpose. But there are also many useful techniques that are commonly used in the 3D graphics industry. Descriptions for these can be found in books and tutorials with examples implemented using various 3D graphics APIs.
Vulkan is still a relatively new graphics API, so there aren't too many resources that present common rendering algorithms implemented with the Vulkan API. In this chapter, we will learn how to use Vulkan to prepare various graphics techniques. We will learn about important concepts...
