RenderDoc is a free MIT licensed stand-alone graphics debugger that allows quick
and easy single-frame capture and detailed introspection of any application
using Vulkan, D3D11, OpenGL & OpenGL ES or D3D12 across Windows, Linux, Android,
or Nintendo Switch™.


OPEN DEVELOPMENT

I work on RenderDoc myself and you can always contact me with any problems or
comments. I'll respond to you directly and personally, and I'm used to helping
people with private or NDA'd projects.


OPEN SOURCE

RenderDoc is 100% open source and development all happens on github. Check out
the source and see how any feature is implemented, report a bug you've found, or
request a new feature or improvement.


USABILITY FOCUS

Usability matters. Tools should have a low barrier to entry and be easy to use
and understand. RenderDoc makes the process of getting started as smooth as
possible, and simplifies common workflows.


PLATFORM SUPPORT

RenderDoc supports Windows, Linux, and Android for capture and replay out of the
box. Nintendo Switch™ support is distributed separately for authorized
developers as part of the NintendoSDK. Captures are portable between different
platforms and hardware.


CUSTOMISABLE

On top of being able to modify the source to change or customise behaviour,
RenderDoc embeds the python runtime for progammatic access to frame captures.


WIDELY USED

RenderDoc is the debugger of choice for many people within the game industry,
academia, and hobbyists. Engine-level integration ships in Unity, and in Unreal.

> With RenderDoc I have a very useful workflow: I can open the Unity Editor in
> DX11 mode and capture a frame in RenderDoc, then switch the editor to Vulkan
> mode and capture a frame again. I can then compare the two captures
> side-by-side in RenderDoc without any problems.

Vulkan has a lot of really nice concepts, but one that hasn't had as much
attention until now is the layer system that's built into the API ecosystem.

Vulkan in 30 minutes
  2016-02-16 16:01 • @baldurk

I've written this post with a specific target audience in mind, namely those who
have a good grounding in existing APIs (e.g. D3D11 and GL) and understand the
concepts of multithreading, staging resources, synchronisation and so on but
want to know specifically how they are implemented in Vulkan. So we end up with
a whirlwind tour of what the main Vulkan concepts look like.

Graphics in Plain Language - Parts 1 to 4
  2016-06-15 12:00 • @baldurk

A series of posts aimed at a technically minded average person, who wants to
know more about how modern graphics work. This won't teach you how to make
anything and it doesn't assume much prior knowledge, but hopefully it will
explain the concepts at least.
