Module buffer

Vertex buffer with dynamic layout. See VertexBuffer docs for more info and usage examples.

Structs

AttributeViewRef

A typed attribute view for a specific vertex attribute in a vertex buffer.

AttributeViewRefMut

A typed attribute view for a specific vertex attribute in a vertex buffer.

BytesStorage

Bytes storage of a vertex buffer.

TriangleBuffer

A buffer for data that defines connections between vertices.

TriangleBufferRefMut

See VertexBuffer::modify for more info.

VertexAttribute

Vertex attribute is a simple “bridge” between raw data and its interpretation. In other words it defines how to treat raw data in vertex shader.

VertexAttributeDescriptor

Input vertex attribute descriptor used to construct layouts and feed vertex buffer.

VertexBuffer

Vertex buffer with dynamic layout. It is used to store multiple vertices of a single type, that implements VertexTrait. Different vertex types used to for efficient memory usage. For example, you could have a simple vertex with only position expressed as Vector3 and it will be enough for simple cases, when only position is required. However, if you want to draw a mesh with skeletal animation, that also supports texturing, lighting, you need to provide a lot more data (bone indices, bone weights, normals, tangents, texture coordinates).

VertexBufferRefMut

See VertexBuffer::modify for more info.

VertexViewMut

Read/write accessor for a vertex with some layout.

VertexViewRef

Read accessor for a vertex with some layout.

Enums

ValidationError

An error that may occur during input data and layout validation.

VertexAttributeDataType

Data type for a vertex attribute component.

VertexAttributeUsage

An usage for vertex attribute. It is a fixed set, but there are plenty room for any custom data - it may be fit into TexCoordN attributes.

VertexFetchError

An error that may occur during fetching using vertex read/write accessor.

Traits

VertexReadTrait

A trait for read-only vertex data accessor.

VertexTrait

A common trait for all vertex types. IMPORTANT: Implementors must use #[repr(C)] attribute, otherwise the compiler is free to reorder fields and you might get weird results, because definition order will be different from memory order! See examples in VertexBuffer docs.

VertexWriteTrait

A trait for read/write vertex data accessor.
