Mastering Graphics Programming with Vulkan: Develop a modern rendering engine from first principles to state-of-the-art techniques

• Use a pre-built "Raptor" engine to abstract tedious aspects like file systems, memory allocation, and utility functions
• Delve into advanced graphics programming by taking advantage of Vulkan's cutting-edge features, including mesh shaders and ray tracing
• Optimize your engine without reinventing the wheel
• Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

• 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

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.
