LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12GraphicsFactory::createVertexBuffer

Creates a vertex buffer, based on the layout.

Synopsis

Declared in <litefx/backends/dx12.hpp>

[[dllimport, dllexport]] virtual SharedPtr<IDirectX12VertexBuffer> createVertexBuffer(
    DirectX12VertexBufferLayout const& layout,
    ResourceHeap heap,
    UInt32 elements = 1,
    ResourceUsage usage = ResourceUsage::Default,
    AllocationBehavior allocationBehavior = AllocationBehavior::Default) const override;

Description

A vertex buffer can be used by different RenderPipeline "RenderPipelines", as long as they share a common input assembler state.

The size of the buffer is computed from the element size vertex buffer layout, times the number of elements given by the elements parameter.

Return Value

The instance of the vertex buffer.

Parameters

Name	Description
layout	The layout of the vertex buffer.
heap	The heap to allocate the buffer on.
elements	The number of elements within the vertex buffer (i.e. the number of vertices).
usage	The intended usage for the buffer.
allocationBehavior	The behavior controlling what happens if currently there is not enough memory available for the resource.
