• Havok Physics: Consider applying for access to their code when the project is more advanced.
• Comparison of Math Libraries:
  • Consider using glm with SIMD mode for better performance.
  • Note the different coordinate systems between glm (Left-Handed) and DirectXMath (Right-Handed).
• DirectXShaderCompiler: HLSL for Vulkan: [[vk:Location(X)]] is the equivalent of layout(location = X) in GLSL.
• SPIRV-Cross: Useful for SPIR-V reflection and conversion to high-level shading languages.
• Indexed vs. Direct & Interleaved vs. Non-Interleaved Vertex Buffers
• flecs: ECS library
• Avoid templated code through dynamic libraries to prevent code replication.
• RayTracing in Vulkan with HLSL
• Nanite: LOD Handling
• Glaze: Optimized JSON parsing
• Vulkan vs. DX12 vs. Optix for Raytracing
• METIS: Graph Partitioning lib (used by Nanite)
• PBRTv4: Scenes for test
• Dr.Memory: Valgrind-like Software for Windows/Linux/MacOS
• Memory Allocator for Vulkan
• Memory Allocator for DX12
