Convert Renderer's usage of OpenGL -> Vulkan. #1402

Open JulianGro opened 2 years ago

JulianGro commented 2 years ago

So apparently someone at HiFi has worked on a Vulkan renderer in the past. Here are all related branches I could find: https://github.com/JulianGro/vircadia/pull/12 https://github.com/JulianGro/vircadia/pull/11 https://github.com/JulianGro/vircadia/pull/7 https://github.com/JulianGro/vircadia/pull/6 https://github.com/JulianGro/vircadia/pull/5 https://github.com/JulianGro/vircadia/pull/4

I might scour the archives for old PR descriptions and discussions later.

Neat! We should definitely give that a try.

Moving to Vulkan could also solve problems with AMD's broken OpenGL drivers on Windows

There is a lot of problems this could influence. For example we could move to that on macOS using MoltenVK. That would future proof us on macOS. Also mobile GPUs could profit a lot from this.

Hello! Is this still an issue?
