vkCmdSetCullMode(3)

C Specification

To dynamically set the cull mode, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
void vkCmdSetCullMode(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkCullModeFlags                             cullMode);

or the equivalent command

// Provided by VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state, VK_EXT_shader_object
void vkCmdSetCullModeEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkCullModeFlags                             cullMode);

Parameters

commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.
cullMode specifies the cull mode property to use for drawing.

Description

This command sets the cull mode for subsequent drawing commands when drawing using shader objects, or when the graphics pipeline is created with VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_CULL_MODE set in VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pDynamicStates. Otherwise, this state is specified by the VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo::cullMode value used to create the currently active pipeline.

Valid Usage

VUID-vkCmdSetCullMode-None-08971
At least one of the following must be true:
- the extendedDynamicState feature is enabled
- the shaderObject feature is enabled
- the value of VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion used to create the VkInstance parent of commandBuffer is greater than or equal to Version 1.3

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkCmdSetCullMode-commandBuffer-parameter
commandBuffer must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle
VUID-vkCmdSetCullMode-cullMode-parameter
cullMode must be a valid combination of VkCullModeFlagBits values
VUID-vkCmdSetCullMode-commandBuffer-recording
commandBuffer must be in the recording state
VUID-vkCmdSetCullMode-commandBuffer-cmdpool
The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support graphics operations
VUID-vkCmdSetCullMode-videocoding
This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

Host Synchronization

Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized
Host access to the VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized
