Laboratory Experiments:
(Reference: https://vulkan-tutorial.com/) Software Requirements: On Windows: Vulkan SDK, GLFW, GLM , C++ compiler and IDE like visual studio.
- Install vulkan sdk with c++ in Visual Studio and set up the work environment.
- Understand vulkan environment for setting up graphics experiment: setup, presentation, graphics pipeline commands, window surface, swap chain, image views, buffers.
- Drawing 2D primitives (points, lines, polygons, triangle fan, triangle strip etc.,)
- Setting up the camera, lights and performing viewing transformations. Demonstrate a Simple projection transformation for a primitive.
- Drawing 3D primitive Cube and show the cube from different camera angles and perspectives.
- Place lights and Shade the cube using any shading language or simple flat shading, with different colors for different surfaces of the cube.
- Apply basic transformations on the cube including Translation, Rotation, Scaling.
- Understand different types of shaders in Vulkan
- Using different Buffers (Depth Buffer, Stencil Buffer)to implement different effects on the 3D model.
- Applying textures on a Cube.
- Perform the above steps on other geometric objects other than Cube.
- Create a simple 3D scene with different objects and with different attributes
- Perform Rendering with Environment and Bump maps and other rendering techniques
