alt Hacker NewsI'm really enjoying these changes. Going from render passes to dynamic rendering really simplified my code. I wonder how this new feature compares to existing bindless rendering.
From the linked video, "Feature parity with OpenCL" is the thing I'm most looking forward to.
You can use descriptor heaps with existing bindless shaders if you configure the optional "root signature".
However it looks like it's simpler to change your shaders (if you can) to use the new GLSL/SPIR-V functionality (or Slang) and don't specify the root signature at all (it's complex and verbose).
Descriptor heaps really reduce the amount of setup code needed, with pipeline layouts gone you can drop like third of the code needed to get started.
Similar in magnitude to dynamic rendering.
