MoonWorks provides eight different kinds of graphics resources that you use to construct your renderer.
|
|
|
|
`Buffer` holds generic data, like vertex information for example. The way this data is interpreted is determined by the pipeline.
|
|
|
|
`Texture` holds image data in a specified format.
|
|
|
|
`Sampler` tells a shader how it should sample texture data.
|
|
|
|
`GraphicsPipeline` sets up the graphics device to do rendering work.
|
|
|
|
`RenderTarget` is a structure that can be rendered to.
|
|
|
|
`Framebuffer` is essentially a collection of `RenderTarget`s.
|
|
|
|
`RenderPass` is a structure that tells the `GraphicsPipeline` how it should use a `Framebuffer`.
|
|
|
|
`ComputePipeline` sets up the graphics device to do computational work using [compute shaders](https://anteru.net/blog/2018/intro-to-compute-shaders/index.html).

This is all pretty abstract. Let's get into some more detail.
