Building a 3D engine from scratch with C++ and Vulkan for web developers Part II: Rendering your first triangle
This article is the second part of a tutorial series on building a 3D engine from scratch using C++ and Vulkan, aimed at web developers. It focuses on rendering the first triangle, a foundational step in graphics programming that validates the GPU rendering pipeline. The article walks through setting up key Vulkan components such as render pass, shaders, pipeline, command pools, and framebuffers to achieve this goal.
- ▪The tutorial builds on Part I, where Vulkan infrastructure like instance, device, and swapchain were set up.
- ▪Rendering a triangle is considered the 'Hello, World!' of graphics programming and confirms the GPU pipeline is functional.
- ▪New components introduced include render pass, shaders, pipeline, command pool, and framebuffers, each essential for drawing content on screen.

Jansen Posted on May 17 Building a 3D engine from scratch with C++ and Vulkan for web developers Part II: Rendering your first triangle #cpp #gamedev #webdev #programming Where we left off In Part I, we set up the Vulkan infrastructure: instance, window, surface, device, and swapchain. We have a GPU ready to receive commands, and a queue of images waiting to be drawn to and displayed on screen. But at that point we didn't draw anything.
