This cookbook offers a practical guide to implementing many modern rendering techniques using Vulkan 1.3.

This updated edition starts by setting up your development environment and quickly transitions to building a robust 3D rendering engine using self-contained recipes. Each recipe helps you incrementally enhance your codebase, integrating a variety of 3D rendering techniques and algorithms into a cohesive project. You will master core techniques such as physically based rendering, image-based rendering, and GPU-driven rendering.

As you progress, the book delves into advanced topics, including glTF animations, screen-space rendering techniques, and optimization strategies. You will learn how to use advanced PBR extensions, and handle complex geometry data, ensuring your rendering engine is both powerful and versatile. These new additions empower you to create dynamic and realistic 3D graphics environments, fully utilizing Vulkan's capabilities.

By the end of this 3D rendering book, you'll have gained an improved understanding of best practices used in modern graphics APIs and be able to create fast and versatile 3D rendering frameworks.
