FrameGraph simplifies prototyping on Vulkan and can also be used as a base layer for the graphics engine. FrameGraph designed for maximum performance but not at the expense of usability. API developed as simple as possible, it hides all synchronizations, memory allocations and all this boilerplate code that is needed to get Vulkan work. Builtin validations together with Vulkan validation layers allow you to quickly find and fix errors.

• multithreaded command buffer building and submitting.
• simple API, hides memory allocation, host to/from device transfers, synchronizations.
• glsl debugging.
• supports RTX extensions.

Generate project with CMake and build.
Required C++17 standard support.

CMake version 3.11 and greater will download all dependencies during configuration time.
If it didn't, manualy download dependencies into 'external' directory or in cmake specify FG_EXTERNAL_*** pathes for each dependency.

Dependencies:
Vulkan-headers or Vulkan SDK - required.
VulkanMemoryAllocator - required.
glfw or SDL2 or SFML - required for framework and some tests.
glslang - required for glsl compiler.
SPIRV-Tools, SPIRV-Headers and Python - optional, for spirv optimization.
lodepng - optional.
graphviz - (optional) for graph visualization.
Assimp - (optional) for Scene extension.
DevIL - (optional) for Scene extension.
FreeImage - (optional) for Scene extension.
imgui - (optional) for UI extension.

1. FrameGraph in Frostbite.
   
2. Handles vs pointers
   
3. Porting engine to vulkan.
