Crate wgpu_render_manager 

wgpu_render_manager

A helper crate for rendering and computing using wgpu, made specifically for game engines.

It can:

• Render textures to the screen for debugging and visualization purposes
• Render anything using automatically procedurally generated textures
• Procedurally generate textures using TextureKey and a shader
• Make compute pipelines trivial using compute()

This crate makes game development and rendering with fullscreen passes a breeze.

Goals

• Minimal boilerplate
• Zero magic around bind groups
• Easy fullscreen rendering of any texture

Shader Binding layout

• @group(0) @binding(0): trilinear sampler
• @group(0) @binding(0..n): textures as texture_2d or texture_multisampled_2d
• @group(0) @binding(n+1): (optional) shadow_sampler
• @group(0) @binding(n+2): (optional) shadow textures as texture_depth_2d_array
• @group(1) @binding(0..n): uniforms, in the same order as input

Basic usage

// Inside a render pass
render_manager.render_with_textures(
    &texture_views.as_slice(), // Texture Views
    shader_path.as_path(),     // Shader Path
    options,                   // PipelineOptions
    &[&uniforms_buffer],       // Buffers
    &mut render_pass,          // Render Pass
);
