Summary
The video introduces a series covering the transition from OpenGL to Vulkan tutorials, emphasizing Vulkan's potential for enhanced performance. Viewers are expected to have familiarity with OpenGL, basic 3D math concepts, and C++ for the structured tutorial series. Instructions are provided for setting up the development environment for Vulkan, including requirements like a modern GPU and the Vulkan SDK. Details on organizing project files, setting up Visual Studio, and preparing dependencies for Vulkan development are also covered. Guidance on writing Vulkan code, including integrating GLFW for window management and handling events, is included in the tutorial.
Introduction to Vulkan Tutorials
The speaker introduces the shift from OpenGL to Vulkan tutorials, emphasizing that both will be covered and thanking supporters. The potential of Vulkan in terms of performance is highlighted, with a brief comparison to OpenGL.
Assumptions of the Target Audience
Three key assumptions about the target audience are outlined: familiarity with OpenGL, basic 3D math concepts, and C++ usage. The importance of these assumptions on structuring the tutorial series is mentioned.
Setting Up Development Environment
Instructions on setting up the development environment for Vulkan, including requirements such as a modern GPU, updating drivers, and installing the Vulkan SDK. Details on setting environment variables and configuring Visual Studio for Vulkan development are provided.
Organizing Project Files for Vulkan
Details on organizing project files for Vulkan development, including separating Vulkan-specific code from OpenGL, using static libraries, configuring include directories, and linking libraries. Instructions on preparing the tutorial project and dependencies are also given.
Writing Vulkan Code
Guidance on writing Vulkan code, such as including GLFW header, defining GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN, setting up GLFW for window management, and handling events. The process of opening a GLFW window and preparing to write code is explained.
