Shader compilation fails for me with the following error:
Custom build for 'V:\Vulkan-Docs-Site\Vulkan-Tutorial-review\attachments\siggraph2026_vk_tutorial\build\vs2022\CMakeFiles\d79c7eb460355f97f6a43dc990eed41f\albedo.frag.spv.rule;V:\Vulkan-Docs-Site\Vulkan-Tutorial-review\attachments\siggraph2026_vk_tutorial\build\vs2022\CMakeFiles\f53c6c7b794bd22104e72c02a70f4a94\albedo_fragment_shader.rule;V:\Vulkan-Docs-Site\Vulkan-Tutorial-review\attachments\siggraph2026_vk_tutorial\CMakeLists.txt' exited with code 3.
I have the SDK installed, slangc is in the path, and CMake slang compiler variable properly points at it.

What's this supposed to do? The comment above doesn't refer to the actual code.

I tried to clarify the comment.
We are using all variables, so Vulkan Validation layers does not point this as a performance warning.

Any reason the license file is duplicated (see src/LICENSE)?

Initially we planned this to be its own repository, MIT is one of the license we use as standard for new projects, so we choose MIT license.
The CI requires to have a MIT license file here.
I would not mind to remove the one in attachments/siggraph2026_vk_tutorial/LICENSE

Tbh. I wouldn't say that descriptor heaps are a topic for beginners.

Not sure, I removed the sentence about beginners.
I personally think they are completely different form classic descriptor sets, and require a new mental model.
I would not call them more beginner friendly but I think they can be a proper alternative for new developers.
I find them easy to use, if you have experience with memory, but I think is going to depend on the person.
Sorry which version of the SKD do you have? |

I'm on 1.4.350.0, but I'm using a more recent version of Slang as the one in the SDK is outdated. Explicitly stating the slang path like you show in the readme works though, shaders are now compiling fine. |
