here's a lil sample of the ECS in action, first in the user's code and second in the backend RenderSystem :>

the entrypoint is owned by the engine, and it gets linked to the user's code through those function declarations that the user is expected to define

just got done adding MSAA and SSAA support to the vulkan side of things :>
the 1st image is with no anti aliasing, the 2nd image is with 8x MSAA (notice how the geometry edges are anti aliased but the textures are still jaggy, classic MSAA 🙄), and the 3rd is 4x SSAA
video in replies !!

fixed the lighting !! looks a lot better now (had many issues with my tbn matrix n whatnot, classic tbn matrix amirite)

day 1 of PBR, this is just copied over from my old vulkan framework so it doesn't look great but it's a start !! and i can confirm all the textures (albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, and emissive) are being loaded correctly :>
also this is working on dx12 and vulkan

took a full day of locking tf in but textured models are finally implemented, works on both d3d12 and vulkan

surprise !! if you made it this far, you get to see the Neki logo with the proper colours after my dumbass remembered to use srgb format for the swapchain

i should really get back to work on dx12 but i soooo don't wanna boot up windows....
anyway, i got image loading working on vulkan :>

textures and samplers implemented in vulkan !!
for now im just hardcoding in some colour bytes, will get round to actual image loading with stb soon enough.
first though ive got quite a bit of catching up to do with dx12....

triangle complete!!
it's been a while O_O but ive been spending a lot of time getting synchronisation compatible on two APIs that really dont want to be compatible.
fences and semaphores aside, here's my triangle !! she's been tested and works on dx12 for win and vulkan for win/linux :))

andddd that's d3d12 shaders and pipelines complete !! took a bit of messing around to get things synced up with vulkan (supersampling had to go unfortunately) but it's all good now :>
i think the final thing im missing is synchronisation objects (and the commands....), then it's triangle time !!

shaders and pipelines and bears, oh my !!
that's shaders (vertex, fragment, and compute) and pipelines (graphics and compute) set up and working in vulkan now !!
i can practically taste the triangle.... but it will have to wait, d3d12 calls and it's ALREADY started being a pain in the ass

very happy with the architecture for it, so much so i think i might spend a bit of time going back and cleaning up some of these other classes....

already implemented vulkan surfaces? it's more likely than you think
i can practically smell the triangle

dx12 bindless buffer views conquered !!
taking a bit to get used to dx if im being honest but.... to be honest.... a LOT of stuff is proving to be a lot nicer to work with than vulkan....
maybe my previous prejudices towards dx based on dx11 were misplaced. nice going microsoft :>
