HLSL Builder

This is a project that uses a solution to compile a set of HLSL files to cso or spv. Is completely inspired in Visual Studio and its solution schema.

The builder is based in 4 pipelines:

Graphics Pipeline (.gp) (will be the first pipeline implemented)

This is the most common shader pipeline, either GLSL and HLSL, involving the following stages: vertex, domain, hull, geometry and pixel, following the rules above:

• Vertex and Pixel stages are mandatory
• Geometry stage is optional
• If Domain stage is present, Hull is mandatory

Compute Pipeline (.cp)

This is the pipeline used to compute data on GPU using the graphics API, it only has the compute stage

Mesh Pipeline

This pipeline intend to replace the Graphics Pipeline, when more flexibility is necessary to the Geometry Stage, more details can be found here. It has 3 stages, mesh, amplification and pixel, and all 3 are mandatories.
