Book Description:

Written by experts with decades of rendering experience, this cookbook equips you with practical, hands-on recipes to master modern 3D graphics development by using bindless Vulkan.

Focusing on Vulkan 1.3, this second edition starts by setting up your development environment, and quickly transitions to building a robust 3D rendering framework using self-contained recipes. Each recipe helps you incrementally enhance your codebase, integrating a variety of 3D rendering techniques and algorithms into a cohesive project. You'll get to grips with core techniques, such as glTF 2.0 physically based rendering, image-based lighting, and GPU-driven rendering. The chapters help you grasp advanced topics, including glTF animations, screen-space rendering techniques, and optimization strategies. You'll also learn how to use glTF 2.0 advanced PBR extensions and handle complex geometry data, ensuring your rendering engine is both powerful and performant. These new additions will enable you to create dynamic and realistic 3D graphics environments, fully utilizing Vulkan's capabilities.

By the end of this 3D rendering book, you'll have gained an improved understanding of best practices used in modern graphic APIs and be able to create fast and versatile 3D rendering frameworks.

What You Will Learn:

- Master the core features of Vulkan 1.3, with a focus on bindless rendering

- Learn effective techniques for debugging and profiling Vulkan applications

- Build a glTF 2.0 physically based rendering pipeline from scratch

- Enhance visual quality with advanced glTF 2.0 PBR extensions

- Integrate multiple rendering techniques and optimizations into a single application

- Manage large-scale content efficiently in real-time 3D rendering engines

- Leverage Vulkan compute pipelines for advanced image and geometry processing
