the current rendergraph stuff for the postprocessing stack is also, to put it mildly, labyrinthine. i get why it's gotta be this way but i wish they could at least step-by-step some common scripting use cases for it in their official docs

i am so close to being done now though. and this project contains everything ive learned, and will let me almost fully automate resource creation (like literally allocate most buffers from reflection data), and make my rendergraph so much more expressive. it's awesome. but it is consuming me.

Although, things like geometry nodes or node based shaders do bring a lot of value. All technically possible by coding, but infinitely easier to iterate and branch.
I would not have produced a tenth of the shaders I have without RenderGraph.
I think your point stands regarding general logic

RustでVulkanのバックエンドの上にフルスクラッチでGUIフレームワークを作るやつをコーディングエージェントに頼んだ様子。後々3D Viewportとかを接続しやすいように、GPUのリソース管理とかRenderGraphがどうとかそういう設計は色々握って設計書は作っていますが、そのうえで問題なく作ってくれたわ。

ChatGPT Proとひたすら議論を重ねてVulkanの上に自前のGUIフレームワークを作る設計を固めて5400行弱の簡単な基盤部分の設計書を作りました。vulkanのリソースの取扱とかRenderGraphをどうするかとかそこらへんの設計はちゃんと握っています。

Putting this out here so it stops swirling in my noggin:
I'm thinking of setting up some sort of course (in both live and pre-recorded formats) to help devs familiar with coding and some 3D concepts get into technical art, covering stuff from simple shaders to more advanced effects with RenderGraph

i was stuck on designing a rendergraph for so long that I almost lost the motivation to work on the project. but I hacked together an MVP and it worked first try, which was enough celebration to put me back in action. Needs to be reworked but this implementation is a good start for graph2

The question I keep asking myself really is: Does the "new" RenderGraph API really HAVE to be so complicated?
Is it really necessary?
At least give me some deep dive documentation for your arcane codepaths. Please.

I'm not sure I'd *actually* recommend using this, because it's only useful inside a rendergraph pass so you still have to write all the goddamn boilerplate to set it up. But still, nice to know there IS an official way to escape their stupid commandbuffer wrappers if you really need to

I’ve been arguing recently that Rendergraph are slightly more technical version of what the movie industry call “compositors”.
Having them in data/content leave users in both complete understanding and control of the said pipeline.

A nice example of "configuring system sets". Bevy uses a tag-like solution for configuring (and ordering) systems. You can operate on system sets themselves, including adding them to other sets to create a nested structure.

One of the relatively few casualties of the great render graph -> systems migration: render statistics. Whoops! The fix looks reasonable, but Jasmine has a complaint about the perf impact of an extra submit. Kicking back to the author for now :)

Spent half of yesterday trying to figure out how to render particles at half-resolution to little success. I know this is a thing that is possible with RenderGraph and whatnot, but I couldn't figure it out. Making matters worse, everything changed in 6.3, so almost all examples are obsolete.
