C Specification
Possible values of type
in VkRayTracingShaderGroupCreateInfoNV
are:
typedef enum VkRayTracingShaderGroupTypeNV {
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_GENERAL_NV = 0,
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_TRIANGLES_HIT_GROUP_NV = 1,
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_PROCEDURAL_HIT_GROUP_NV = 2,
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_MAX_ENUM_NV = 0x7FFFFFFF
} VkRayTracingShaderGroupTypeNV;
Description
-
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_GENERAL_NV
indicates a shader group with a singleVK_SHADER_STAGE_RAYGEN_BIT_NV
,VK_SHADER_STAGE_MISS_BIT_NV
, orVK_SHADER_STAGE_CALLABLE_BIT_NV
shader in it. -
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_TRIANGLES_HIT_GROUP_NV
specifies a shader group that only hits triangles and must not contain an intersection shader, only closest hit and any-hit. -
VK_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_GROUP_TYPE_PROCEDURAL_HIT_GROUP_NV
specifies a shader group that only intersects with custom geometry and must contain an intersection shader and may contain closest hit and any-hit shaders.
Note
For current group types, the hit group type could be inferred from the presence or absence of the intersection shader, but we provide the type explicitly for future hit groups that do not have that property. |
