OpenGL and DirectX through Vulkan?

[rohezal]

Sorry for the noob question, but there is an opengl implementation based on vulkan. https://www.collabora.com/news-and-...ntroducing-zink-opengl-implementation-vulkan/

Steam did the same for DirectX12. Does the OMAP5 support Vulkan? gl4es is great, but afaik is does not support shaders, right?

It doesn't even support OpenGL ES 3.0, why would it support Vulkan?

 

[TrashyMG]

well maybe someone will feel frisky and attempt some gl4es like Vulkan implementation outside that, yeah no.

It does support shaders now.

Hah! You thought that was a NOOB question? I raise you with: what even are “shaders”?

1's and 0's?

 

[Letalis Sonus]

Being ambiguous is not helpful if it actually makes a difference whether you are referring to hardware shaders or shader programs.

or roof tile shaders

They're lots of things, which only really resolve to be the same kind of things if you know about the maths behind it all. Bascially in maths speak it's about fiddling with the numbers after they are rendered either to the 3d world space or the 2d perspective projection. It's a very general purpose technique. The main effects you get from shaders vary with style, but tend to be things like motion blur, and sometime shadows can be implemented using shaders I think.

Cheers for the explanation
