GLSL to SPIR-V / SMOL-V Utility

JeGX — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 17:51:00 +0000

DOWNLOAD GLSL to SPIR-V / SMOL-V utility for Windows 64-bit Forum thread (EN) Here is a small utility that generates SPIR-V and SMOL-V binary modules (for Vulkan and OpenGL applications) from a GLSL shader. SMOL-V is a compressor for SPIR-V shader modules: SMOL-V encodes Vulkan/Khronos SPIR-V format programs into a form that is smoller, and is more compressible. Normally no changes to the programs are … Continue reading GLSL to SPIR-V / SMOL-V Utility »

How to Load SPIR-V Shaders in OpenGL

JeGX — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 15:22:25 +0000

Do you know that thanks to the GL_ARB_gl_spirv, it is possible to load SPIR-V shaders (the same shaders met in a Vulkan application) in OpenGL? Loading SPIR-V shaders in OpenGL is very easy. The only requirement is the support of OpenGL 4.6, which is usually the case on Windows with latest drivers from AMD, NVIDIA and Intel. On Linux, if I’m not wrong, proprietary … Continue reading How to Load SPIR-V Shaders in OpenGL »
