C Specification
Multisample values in a multisample attachment are combined according to the resolve mode used:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2
typedef enum VkResolveModeFlagBits {
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_NONE = 0,
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_SAMPLE_ZERO_BIT = 0x00000001,
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_AVERAGE_BIT = 0x00000002,
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_MIN_BIT = 0x00000004,
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_MAX_BIT = 0x00000008,
} VkResolveModeFlagBits;Description
-
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_NONE specifies that no resolve operation is done.
-
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_SAMPLE_ZERO_BIT specifies that result of the resolve operation is equal to the value of sample 0.
-
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_AVERAGE_BIT specifies that result of the resolve operation is the average of the sample values.
-
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_MIN_BIT specifies that result of the resolve operation is the minimum of the sample values.
-
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_MAX_BIT specifies that result of the resolve operation is the maximum of the sample values.
If no resolve mode is otherwise specified, VK_RESOLVE_MODE_AVERAGE_BIT is used.
If VK_RESOLVE_MODE_AVERAGE_BIT is used, and the source format is a floating-point or normalized type, the sample values for each pixel are resolved with implementation-defined numerical precision.
If the numeric format of the resolve attachment uses sRGB encoding, the implementation should convert samples from nonlinear to linear before averaging samples as described in the “sRGB EOTF” section of the Khronos Data Format Specification. In this case, the implementation must convert the linear averaged value to nonlinear before writing the resolved result to resolve attachment.
