What you will learn!

  • Vulkan

  • Graphics

💡 The course is intermediate-level, but it's explained in a way that even beginners can understand , so don't worry too much about the difficulty. The reason the course is intermediate-level is because it only covers Vulkan, not overall graphics.

Vulkan

The ultimate course for OpenGL developers! 🥳

This course is designed for OpenGL developers considering migrating to Vulkan. It covers the fundamentals and delves into advanced topics such as GPUs, SPIR-V, synchronization, pipeline barriers, and buffering. Students will understand Vulkan's key benefits: explicit GPU control and performance optimization potential. Ultimately, this course will equip them with the understanding and skills necessary to transition from OpenGL to Vulkan. Upon completion, students will be ready to explore new horizons in advanced graphics programming.

Demo Showing Vulkan's Performance Beyond OpenGL

Demo showing Vulkan consumes less power than OpenGL

Vulkan is now a must, not an option! 🤩

Starting with Android 15, Vulkan will be adopted as the default API, and OpenGL ES is recommended for deprecation.

Features of this course

📌 Vulkan is explained very simply. Years of Vulkan expertise are incorporated into the lecture.

📌 50% theory, 50% practice. All code is written in an easy-to-understand manner.

📌 This course is for intermediate learners. You should be familiar with CMake and OpenGL. 🙂

📌 We run a Discord for Q&A and active discussion . 🗣

📌 We offer student discounts to ease the financial burden on students and job seekers. 🥰

I recommend this to these people

I want to learn Vulkan.

I heard that Vulkan was released to replace OpenGL, but I'm curious about what Vulkan is and want to learn about it.

I want to switch from OpenGL to Vulkan.

I know OpenGL, but Vulkan is too difficult to use. How can I learn Vulkan quickly and easily?

I want to solve Vulkan issues in Unreal Engine.

I enabled Vulkan in Unreal Engine to improve performance, but I'm getting rendering errors. I have no idea how to fix it.

I want to contribute to Vulkan open source.

I want to know how to understand and modify Vulkan code to make meaningful contributions.

    Although I've used opengl and directx for quite some time, it was difficult to follow the lecture content during the first viewing. This was because a vast number of new functions and structures added in vulkan kept appearing. Fortunately, starting from the second full viewing of the lecture, I gradually began to understand, and by the third viewing, I could understand most of it. It takes several times longer to learn how to texture a triangle in vulkan than it does in opengl. Texturing a triangle requires almost 1300 lines of code. Regarding another person's review saying, "What kind of lecture explains every single struct in vulkan?", in my opinion, I think vulkan lectures inevitably have to be structured this way. This is because it's necessary to explain what each struct member means in the graphics pipeline. The points I found disappointing about the lecture are that there are too few assignments and only the core essentials are explained. Firstly, throughout the entire lecture, there were perhaps only about 4-5 simple assignments? In follow-up lectures, I hope there are more assignments, even simple ones, than now. Doing assignments helped me understand the lecture content more deeply. Secondly, the part where only the absolute core essentials of each vulkan concept were explained was also difficult when I first took the lecture. Explaining only the core makes it easy to remember and organize the content, but since the explanations are too short, I was able to learn more details about parts I couldn't understand solely from the explanations with the help of an LLM. For future lectures, I hope there are more supplementary explanations than now, even if the lecture content becomes a bit longer. I also request that the window framework be glfw, and that you check in advance if there are any errors on other platforms like Windows.

        I listened well. The process of making the GPU work in Vulkan is really difficult. Buffer & image synchronization... gfx queue, compute queue synchronization... It's fine when drawing triangles, but If I try to make a game engine by myself later, I can imagine that setting up pipeline & renderpass resources will be very difficult. The lecture was great, but Vulkan itself is a bit disappointing 😭 It would have been nice if it was easy for users to make... I look forward to the advanced course~^^
