= Fixed-Function Vertex Processing
|
|
|
|
Some implementations have specialized fixed-function hardware for fetching
|
|
and format-converting vertex input data from buffers, rather than performing
|
|
the fetch as part of the vertex shader.
|
|
Vulkan includes a vertex attribute fetch stage in the graphics pipeline in
|
|
order to take advantage of this.
|
|
|
|

|
== Vertex Attributes
|
|
|
|
Vertex shaders can: define input variables, which receive _vertex attribute_
|
|
data transferred from one or more sname:VkBuffer(s) by drawing commands.
|
|
Vertex shader input variables are bound to buffers via an indirect binding
|
|
where the vertex shader associates a _vertex input attribute_ number with
|
|
each variable, vertex input attributes are associated to _vertex input
|
|
bindings_ on a per-pipeline basis, and vertex input bindings are associated
|
|
with specific buffers on a per-draw basis via the
|
|
fname:vkCmdBindVertexBuffers command.
|
|
Vertex input attribute and vertex input binding descriptions also contain
|
|
format information controlling how data is extracted from buffer memory and
|
|
converted to the format expected by the vertex shader.
|
|
|
|
There are sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxVertexInputAttributes
|
|
number of vertex input attributes and
|
|
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxVertexInputBindings number of vertex
|
|
input bindings (each referred to by zero-based indices), where there are at
|
|
least as many vertex input attributes as there are vertex input bindings.
|
|
Applications can: store multiple vertex input attributes interleaved in a
|
|
single buffer, and use a single vertex input binding to access those
|
|
attributes.
|
|
|
|
In GLSL, vertex shaders associate input variables with a vertex input
|
|
attribute number using the code:location layout qualifier.
|
|
The code:component layout qualifier associates components of a vertex shader
|
|
input variable with components of a vertex input attribute.
|
|
|
|
.GLSL example

---------------------------------------------------
|
|
// Assign location M to variableName
|
|
layout (location=M, component=2) in vec2 variableName;
|
|
|
|
// Assign locations [N,N+L) to the array elements of variableNameArray
|
|
layout (location=N) in vec4 variableNameArray[L];
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In SPIR-V, vertex shaders associate input variables with a vertex input
|
|
attribute number using the code:Location decoration.
|
|
The code:Component decoration associates components of a vertex shader input
|
|
variable with components of a vertex input attribute.
|
|
The code:Location and code:Component decorations are specified via the
|
|
code:OpDecorate instruction.

=== Attribute Location and Component Assignment
|
|
|
|
Vertex shaders allow code:Location and code:Component decorations on input
|
|
variable declarations.
|
|
The code:Location decoration specifies which vertex input attribute is used
|
|
to read and interpret the data that a variable will consume.
|
|
The code:Component decoration allows the location to be more finely
|
|
specified for scalars and vectors, down to the individual components within
|
|
a location that are consumed.
|
|
The components within a location are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
|
|
A variable starting at component N will consume components N, N+1, N+2, ...
|
|
up through its size.
|
|
For single precision types, it is invalid if the sequence of components gets
|
|
larger than 3.
|
|
|
|
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a scalar or vector 32-bit
|
|
data type is assigned a location, its value(s) are taken from the components
|
|
of the input attribute specified with the corresponding
|
|
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
|
|
The components used depend on the type of variable and the code:Component
|
|
decoration specified in the variable declaration, as identified in
|
|
<<fxvertex-attrib-components>>.
|
|
Any 32-bit scalar or vector input will consume a single location.
|
|
For 32-bit data types, missing components are filled in with default values
|
|
as described <<fxvertex-input-extraction,below>>.

Components indicated by `o' are available for use by other input variables
|
|
which are sourced from the same attribute, and if used, are either filled

|
with the corresponding component from the input format (if present), or the
|
|
default value.
|
|
|
|
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a 32-bit floating point
|
|
matrix type is assigned a location _i_, its values are taken from
|
|
consecutive input attributes starting with the corresponding
|
|
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
|
|
Such matrices are treated as an array of column vectors with values taken
|
|
from the input attributes identified in <<fxvertex-attrib-matrix>>.
|
|
The sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:format must: be specified
|

with a elink:VkFormat that corresponds to the appropriate type of column

Components indicated by `o' are available for use by other input variables
|
|
which are sourced from the same attribute, and if used, are either filled

with the corresponding component from the input (if present), or the default
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a scalar or vector 64-bit
|
|
data type is assigned a location _i_, its values are taken from consecutive
|
|
input attributes starting with the corresponding
|
|
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
|
|
The locations and components used depend on the type of variable and the
|
|
code:Component decoration specified in the variable declaration, as
|
|
identified in <<fxvertex-attrib-double>>.
|
|
For 64-bit data types, no default attribute values are provided.
|
|
Input variables must: not use more components than provided by the
|
|
attribute.
|
|
Input attributes which have one- or two-component 64-bit formats will
|
|
consume a single location.
|
|
Input attributes which have three- or four-component 64-bit formats will
|
|
consume two consecutive locations.
|
|
A 64-bit scalar data type will consume two components, and a 64-bit
|
|
two-component vector data type will consume all four components available
|
|
within a location.
|
|
A three- or four-component 64-bit data type must: not specify a component.
|
|
A three-component 64-bit data type will consume all four components of the
|
|
first location and components 0 and 1 of the second location.
|
|
This leaves components 2 and 3 available for other component-qualified
|
|
declarations.
|
|
A four-component 64-bit data type will consume all four components of the
|
|
first location and all four components of the second location.
|
|
It is invalid for a scalar or two-component 64-bit data type to specify a
|
|
component of 1 or 3.

|
|
|
|
Components indicated by `o' are available for use by other input variables

which are sourced from the same attribute.
|
|
Components indicated by `-' are not available for input variables as there
|
|
are no default values provided for 64-bit data types, and there is no data
|
|
provided by the input format.
|
|
|
|
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a 64-bit floating-point
|
|
matrix type is assigned a location _i_, its values are taken from
|
|
consecutive input attribute locations.
|
|
Such matrices are treated as an array of column vectors with values taken
|
|
from the input attributes as shown in <<fxvertex-attrib-double>>.
|
|
Each column vector starts at the location immediately following the last
|
|
location of the previous column vector.
|
|
The number of attributes and components assigned to each matrix is
|
|
determined by the matrix dimensions and ranges from two to eight locations.
|
|
|
|
When a vertex shader input variable declared using an array type is assigned
|
|
a location, its values are taken from consecutive input attributes starting
|
|
with the corresponding
|
|
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
|
|
The number of attributes and components assigned to each element are
|
|
determined according to the data type of the array elements and
|
|
code:Component decoration (if any) specified in the declaration of the
|
|
array, as described above.
|
|
Each element of the array, in order, is assigned to consecutive locations,
|
|
but all at the same specified component within each location.
|
|
|
|
Only input variables declared with the data types and component decorations
|
|
as specified above are supported.
|
|
_Location aliasing_ is causing two variables to have the same location
|
|
number.
|
|
_Component aliasing_ is assigning the same (or overlapping) component number
|
|
for two location aliases.
|
|
Location aliasing is allowed only if it does not cause component aliasing.
|
|
Further, when location aliasing, the aliases sharing the location must: all
|
|
have the same SPIR-V floating-point component type or all have the same
|
|
width integer-type components.

The address of each attribute for each code:vertexIndex and
|
|
code:instanceIndex is calculated as follows:
|
|
|
|
* Let attribDesc be the member of
|
|
sname:VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo::pname:pVertexAttributeDescriptions
|
|
with sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location equal to
|
|
the vertex input attribute number.
|
|
* Let bindingDesc be the member of
|
|
sname:VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo::pname:pVertexBindingDescriptions
|
|
with sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:binding equal to
|
|
attribDesc.binding.
|
|
* Let code:vertexIndex be the index of the vertex within the draw (a value
|
|
between pname:firstVertex and pname:firstVertex+pname:vertexCount for
|
|
fname:vkCmdDraw, or a value taken from the index buffer for
|
|
fname:vkCmdDrawIndexed), and let code:instanceIndex be the instance
|
|
number of the draw (a value between pname:firstInstance and
|
|
pname:firstInstance+pname:instanceCount).

[[fxvertex-input-extraction]]
|
|
For each attribute, raw data is extracted starting at `attribAddress` and is
|
|
converted from the sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription's pname:format to
|
|
either to floating-point, unsigned integer, or signed integer based on the
|
|
base type of the format; the base type of the format must: match the base
|
|
type of the input variable in the shader.
|
|
If pname:format is a packed format, `attribAddress` must: be a multiple of
|
|
the size in bytes of the whole attribute data type as described in
|
|
<<features-formats-packed,Packed Formats>>.
|
|
Otherwise, `attribAddress` must: be a multiple of the size in bytes of the
|
|
component type indicated by pname:format (see <<features-formats,Formats>>).
|
|
If the format does not include G, B, or A components, then those are filled
|
|
with [eq]#(0,0,1)# as needed (using either 1.0f or integer 1 based on the
|
|
format) for attributes that are not 64-bit data types.
|
|
The number of components in the vertex shader input variable need not
|
|
exactly match the number of components in the format.
|
|
If the vertex shader has fewer components, the extra components are
|
|
discarded.

== Example
|
|
|
|
To create a graphics pipeline that uses the following vertex description:
|
|
|
|
[source,c++]
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
struct Vertex
|
|
{
|
|
float x, y, z, w;
|
|
uint8_t u, v;
|
|
};
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The application could use the following set of structures:
|
|
|
|
[source,c++]
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
const VkVertexInputBindingDescription binding =
|
|
{
|
|
0, // binding
|
|
sizeof(Vertex), // stride
|
|
VK_VERTEX_INPUT_RATE_VERTEX // inputRate
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const VkVertexInputAttributeDescription attributes[] =
|
|
{
|
|
{
|
|
0, // location
|
|
binding.binding, // binding
|
|
VK_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_SFLOAT, // format
|
|
0 // offset
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
1, // location
|
|
binding.binding, // binding
|
|
VK_FORMAT_R8G8_UNORM, // format
|
|
4 * sizeof(float) // offset
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const VkPipelineVertexInputStateCreateInfo viInfo =
|
|
{
|
|
VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VERTEX_INPUT_CREATE_INFO, // sType
|
|
NULL, // pNext
|
|
0, // flags
|
|
1, // vertexBindingDescriptionCount
|
|
&binding, // pVertexBindingDescriptions
|
|
2, // vertexAttributeDescriptionCount
|
|
&attributes[0] // pVertexAttributeDescriptions
|
|
};
