A hands-on, step-by-step tutorial guide for learning the Vulkan graphics API, hosted at vkguide.dev with accompanying C++20 example code organized into chapters. It emphasizes dynamic rendering and Vulkan 1.3 features to build a foundation suitable for a game engine, covering initialization, compute shaders, mesh drawing, textures, and GLTF scene loading.

Use cases

• learn vulkan from scratch
• vulkan tutorial for beginners with opengl experience
• build a vulkan game engine base
• learn vulkan compute shaders and mesh rendering
• load gltf scenes with vulkan
• modern vulkan 1.3 dynamic rendering guide

When to choose

• you already know 3D graphics basics and have used OpenGL or DirectX
• you want a step-by-step project-based Vulkan tutorial with complete example code
• you want to learn Vulkan 1.3 dynamic rendering for engine-style architecture
• you need a foundation applicable to games, CAD, or visualization

When to avoid

• you need to learn 3D rendering fundamentals like linear algebra from scratch
• you need support for older Vulkan versions (use the legacy guide instead)
• you want a quick sample collection rather than a full tutorial
• you primarily target mobile platforms, since the guide is Windows-centric
