C Specification

The VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
typedef struct VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR {
    VkStructureType                  sType;
    const void*                      pNext;
    VkFormat                         vertexFormat;
    VkDeviceOrHostAddressConstKHR    vertexData;
    VkDeviceSize                     vertexStride;
    uint32_t                         maxVertex;
    VkIndexType                      indexType;
    VkDeviceOrHostAddressConstKHR    indexData;
    VkDeviceOrHostAddressConstKHR    transformData;
} VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • vertexFormat is the VkFormat of each vertex element.

  • vertexData is a device or host address to memory containing vertex data for this geometry.

  • maxVertex is the highest index of a vertex that will be addressed by a build command using this structure.

  • vertexStride is the stride in bytes between each vertex.

  • indexType is the VkIndexType of each index element.

  • indexData is a device or host address to memory containing index data for this geometry.

  • transformData is a device or host address to memory containing an optional reference to a VkTransformMatrixKHR structure describing a transformation from the space in which the vertices in this geometry are described to the space in which the acceleration structure is defined.

Description

Note

Unlike the stride for vertex buffers in VkVertexInputBindingDescription for graphics pipelines which must not exceed maxVertexInputBindingStride, vertexStride for acceleration structure geometry is instead restricted to being a 32-bit value.
Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-vertexStride-03735
    vertexStride must be a multiple of the size in bytes of the smallest component of vertexFormat

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-vertexStride-03819
    vertexStride must be less than or equal to 232-1

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-vertexFormat-03797
    The format features of vertexFormat must contain VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_VERTEX_BUFFER_BIT_KHR

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-indexType-03798
    indexType must be VK_INDEX_TYPE_UINT16, VK_INDEX_TYPE_UINT32, or VK_INDEX_TYPE_NONE_KHR

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_GEOMETRY_TRIANGLES_DATA_KHR

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-pNext-pNext
    Each pNext member of any structure (including this one) in the pNext chain must be either NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of VkAccelerationStructureGeometryMotionTrianglesDataNV, VkAccelerationStructureTrianglesDisplacementMicromapNV, or VkAccelerationStructureTrianglesOpacityMicromapEXT

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-sType-unique
    The sType value of each struct in the pNext chain must be unique

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-vertexFormat-parameter
    vertexFormat must be a valid VkFormat value

  • VUID-VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR-indexType-parameter
    indexType must be a valid VkIndexType value
