- UBO expanded from 64 to 128 bytes: vp(64) + lightPos(16) + lightColor(16)
- Vertex shader: passes point light UBO data through
- Fragment shader: refactored calcLight() function, shared by directional + point
- Point light: Unity-style attenuation pow(1 - dist/range, 2)
- Directional light reduced intensity (0.4) to balance with point light
- Point light: position (0,8,0), warm color (1,0.9,0.7), intensity 15, range 25
- Renderer: reads Light component from ECS, packs into UBO with Marshal.StructureToPtr
- Scene: MainLight entity with Light.Point at (0,8,0)
- 0 C# struct changes — pure UBO layout + shader upgrade
- VulkanRenderer: mesh cache by entity ID, lazy buffer creation
- RenderWorld iterates entities with Transform+Mesh, draws each with
per-entity model matrix via push constants
- Program.cs: creates scene with 1 torus knot (center, scale 1.5) +
6 cubes at different positions, all rotating around Y at different speeds
- Camera at (0, 2, -8) looking at origin, FreeFly controls
- 0 validation errors, ~2100 FPS with 7 objects
System.Numerics.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView uses DirectX convention (Y up).
Vulkan clip space has Y down. Negating M22 corrects the projection.
Depth is already [0,1] in System.Numerics (DirectX-style), no remap needed.
- Program.cs: create Camera entity in ECS World, FreeFlyCameraController
with WASD movement, Q/E up/down, Shift boost, right-click mouse look
- VulkanRenderer.RenderWorld: queries Camera from World, computes VP
from Camera.GetViewMatrix() * GetProjectionMatrix()
- Camera aspect ratio auto-updated on window resize
- Fallback to hardcoded VP if no Camera entity found
- Torus knot still rotating via push constant model matrix
- 0 validation errors
- Push constant changed from float angle (4B) to mat4 model (64B)
- Two draw calls with different model matrices (x=-1.5 and x=+1.5)
- Both cubes rotate around Y axis at 0.2 rad/s
- 0 validation errors
- Load Content/cube.obj via ObjLoader (36 vertices, 36 indices)
- Depth buffer re-enabled: depth test + write, CompareOp=Less
- Depth image transition + depth attachment in rendering info
- Push constant angle=0 (no rotation)
- Camera at z=-2, perspective FOV 45°
- UINT32 index type (fixed in previous commit)
- Face normals computed by ObjLoader (no vn in cube.obj)
- 0 validation errors
- vkCmdBindIndexBuffer indexType changed from 0 (UINT16) to 1 (UINT32)
to match uint[] index data — this was causing black screen
- Removed depth stencil state, depth attachment format, and depth
rendering attachment from pipeline/renderer (depth buffer still
created in swapchain but unused)
1. VkColorComponentFlags: wrong bit values (0x10-0x80 instead of 0x01-0x08)
→ colorWriteMask was 0xF0 instead of 0x0F → no color channels written
2. VkClearValue: was Sequential layout instead of Explicit (union)
→ depthStencil clear value written at wrong offset → depth buffer
cleared to 0.0 instead of 1.0 → all fragments failed depth test
3. Vulkan clip space correction in vertex shader:
gl_Position.y = -gl_Position.y (Vulkan Y-down vs OpenGL Y-up)
gl_Position.z = (gl_Position.z + gl_Position.w) * 0.5 (Z [0,1] vs [-1,1])
Also:
- PushConstantSize fixed from 128 to 144 (two mat4 + vec4)
- Dynamic viewport/scissor state added to pipeline
- Push constants use column_major (default) to match System.Numerics row-major layout
- Camera.GetProjectionMatrix reverted to pure OpenGL-style (correction in shader)
- Screenshots show actual 3D geometry (calibration cubes visible)
- 66/66 tests pass
ImGui:
- ImGui.NET 1.91.6.1 NuGet package
- VulkanImGui: font texture upload, ImGui pipeline (blending, no depth), vertex/index buffer streaming
- GLSL 450 ImGui shaders (vert: scale/translate push constants, frag: font texture sampler)
- Compiled to SPIR-V via @webgpu/glslang
- Debug overlay: FPS, camera position, entity count, light list
- 1600+ FPS with ImGui active
Screenshot:
- vkCmdCopyImageToBuffer embedded in main command buffer
- Layout transition PresentSrcKHR→TransferSrcOptimal→PresentSrcKHR
- Deferred read: staging buffer read on next frame after fence
- BMP format written directly to FileStream (row by row)
- All 16 camera tour screenshots captured (1280x720x32bpp)
All 66 tests pass.
- Added vkCmdCopyImageToBuffer to P/Invoke layer
- Screenshot embedded in main command buffer (barrier PresentSrcKHR→TransferSrc, copy, barrier back)
- Deferred read: staging buffer read on next frame after fence signaled
- BMP format written directly to FileStream (row by row, avoids large heap allocations)
- BGRA→BGRA direct copy for B8G8R8A8 swapchain format
- All 16 camera tour screenshots captured successfully (1280x720x32bpp)
- 66/66 tests pass
