SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Replace fixed-function vertex input with programmable vertex fetch in SDL3 GPU to enable vertex pulling via storage buffers, enabling flexible vertex formats and GPU-driven pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-attribute vertex pipeline: use a StructuredBuffer and SV_VertexID to fetch vertex data on the GPU.
  • Flexible vertex formats: supports varied vertex layouts without changing the pipeline.
  • Scenarios: dynamic mesh streaming, complex asset formats, compute-driven vertex processing.

Quick Start

Create a minimal shader and pipeline that uses a storage buffer as vertex data and draws a mesh with SV_VertexID.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement vertex pulling from a storage buffer in SDL3 GPU shaders?▼

Vertex pulling in SDL3 GPU shaders is implemented by configuring a pipeline without fixed-function vertex attributes and reading vertex data directly from a storage buffer using SV_VertexID inside the vertex shader.

What is the purpose of using a structured buffer for vertex data instead of fixed-function vertex input?▼

Using a structured buffer for vertex data replaces fixed-function vertex input with programmable fetch, enabling flexible vertex formats and GPU-driven pipelines without requiring pipeline changes for varied vertex layouts.

Can I use vertex pulling for dynamic mesh streaming and compute-driven rendering in SDL3?▼

Vertex pulling supports dynamic mesh streaming and compute-driven rendering in SDL3 by allowing the GPU to fetch vertex data on the fly from a storage buffer, which is ideal when vertex data is produced dynamically.

Do I need to configure the SDL GPU pipeline without vertex attributes to enable vertex pulling?▼

Yes, enabling vertex pulling requires configuring the SDL GPU pipeline with zero vertex attributes, binding a storage buffer as the vertex data source, and fetching vertex data programmatically via SV_VertexID.

When should I switch to programmable vertex fetch over fixed-function vertex input in my graphics pipeline?▼

Programmable vertex fetch is necessary for GPU-driven rendering where vertex data formats vary or are produced on the fly, such as complex asset formats and compute-driven vertex processing scenarios.
