Detailed Description

Interface representing a GPU render pass abstraction.

RenderPass encapsulates a specific rendering phase. It manages resource bindings, pipeline association, and provides output targets.

Usage:

• Configure via specification and bind inputs.
• Call Bake() to prepare internal GPU resources.
• Query outputs (color and depth).

Member Function Documentation

Bake()

virtual void Raven::RenderPass::Bake ( )

pure virtual

Prepare the render pass after setting pipeline and inputs.

This typically allocates or updates GPU resources internally.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

Create()

Ref< RenderPass > Raven::RenderPass::Create ( const RenderPassSpecification & spec )

static

Factory method to create a RenderPass from specification.

Parameters

spec	The render pass configuration.

Returns

Reference to newly created RenderPass.

GetDepthOutput()

virtual Ref< Image2D > Raven::RenderPass::GetDepthOutput ( )

pure virtual

Retrieve the depth attachment output image.

Returns

Reference to Image2D representing the depth output.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

GetOutput()

virtual Ref< Image2D > Raven::RenderPass::GetOutput ( u32 index )

pure virtual

Retrieve output image at specified index (color attachments).

Parameters

index

Output attachment index.

Returns

Reference to Image2D representing the color output.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

GetPipeline()

virtual Ref< Pipeline > Raven::RenderPass::GetPipeline ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the associated pipeline.

Returns

Reference to the pipeline used by this render pass.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

GetSpecification() [1/2]

virtual const RenderPassSpecification & Raven::RenderPass::GetSpecification ( ) const

pure virtual

Access const render pass specification.

Returns

Const reference to RenderPassSpecification.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

GetSpecification() [2/2]

virtual RenderPassSpecification & Raven::RenderPass::GetSpecification ( )

pure virtual

Access mutable render pass specification.

Returns

Reference to RenderPassSpecification.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

SetInput() [1/2]

virtual void Raven::RenderPass::SetInput ( Ref< Texture2D > texture, std::string_view imageName, std::string_view samplerName )

pure virtual

Bind a texture with associated sampler by name.

Parameters

texture	Texture2D to bind.
imageName	Name of the texture image in shader.
samplerName	Name of the sampler in shader.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.

SetInput() [2/2]

virtual void Raven::RenderPass::SetInput ( Ref< UniformBuffer > uniformBuffer, std::string_view name )

pure virtual

Bind a uniform buffer as input by name.

Parameters

uniformBuffer	Uniform buffer to bind.
name	Name identifier in the shader.

Implemented in Raven::VulkanRenderPass.
