Graphics pipelines are where we put together every concept we have discussed so far, along with a few other details. A graphics pipeline sets up your graphics hardware so that it can process your rendering as quickly and efficiently as possible. It has a lot of state that we need to explain, so let's get started.
A graphics pipeline needs the following information in order to generate:
* Color Blend State
* Depth Stencil State
* Vertex Shader
* Fragment Shader
* Multisample State
* Pipeline Layout Creation Info
* Rasterizer State
* Primitive Type
* Vertex Input State
* Viewport State
* Render Pass
Whew, that's a lot! Let's break it down one thing at a time.
