LunarG has enhanced the Vulkan Configurator, also known as vkconfig! Read on for links to a LunarG white paper and a video demo that introduce enhancements to this powerful Vulkan developer tool.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the Vulkan Configurator<\/h2>\n

The Vulkan Configurator, also called vkconfig, is a powerful, easy-to-use Vulkan developer tool that manages your system’s automatically loaded (or implicit) layer environment and essentially puts you in charge of your system’s Vulkan implicit layer configuration.<\/p>\n

Vkconfig Features<\/h2>\n

Vkconfig provides several valuable features: 1) allows developers to override the layers’ configuration used by Vulkan applications at runtime, 2) allows the layer configuration to be overridden using vkconfig globally or for a selected list of Vulkan applications, and 3) allows developers to use layers from user-defined directories.<\/p>\n

How do I get it?<\/h2>\n

Vkconfig is delivered with the Vulkan SDK and is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.<\/p>\n

How do I learn more?<\/h2>\n

We’ve prepared both a video demo and a white paper to help you get the most out of our Vulkan Configurator improvements.<\/p>\n
