GPURenderBundleEncoder: setVertexBuffer() method
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The setVertexBuffer()
method of the
GPURenderBundleEncoder
interface sets or unsets the current GPUBuffer
for the given slot that will provide vertex data for subsequent drawing commands.
Note: This method is functionally identical to its equivalent on GPURenderPassEncoder
— setVertexBuffer()
.
Syntax
setVertexBuffer(slot, buffer, offset, size)
Parameters
slot
-
A number referencing the vertex buffer slot to set the vertex buffer for.
buffer
-
A
GPUBuffer
representing the buffer containing the vertex data to use for subsequent drawing commands, ornull
, in which case any previously-set buffer in the given slot is unset. offset
Optional-
A number representing the offset, in bytes, into
buffer
where the vertex data begins. If omitted,offset
defaults to 0. size
Optional-
A number representing the size, in bytes, of the vertex data contained in
buffer
. If omitted,size
defaults to thebuffer
'sGPUBuffer.size
-offset
.
Return value
None (Undefined
).
Validation
The following criteria must be met when calling setVertexBuffer()
, otherwise a GPUValidationError
is generated and the GPURenderBundleEncoder
becomes invalid:
buffer
'sGPUBuffer.usage
contains theGPUBufferUsage.VERTEX
flag.slot
is less than theGPUDevice
'smaxVertexBuffers
limit.offset
+size
is less than or equal to thebuffer
'sGPUBuffer.size
.offset
is a multiple of 4.
Examples
Set vertex buffer
function recordRenderPass(passEncoder) {
if (settings.dynamicOffsets) {
passEncoder.setPipeline(dynamicPipeline);
} else {
passEncoder.setPipeline(pipeline);
}
passEncoder.setVertexBuffer(0, vertexBuffer);
passEncoder.setBindGroup(0, timeBindGroup);
const dynamicOffsets = [0];
for (let i = 0; i < numTriangles; ++i) {
if (settings.dynamicOffsets) {
dynamicOffsets[0] = i * alignedUniformBytes;
passEncoder.setBindGroup(1, dynamicBindGroup, dynamicOffsets);
} else {
passEncoder.setBindGroup(1, bindGroups[i]);
}
passEncoder.draw(3, 1, 0, 0);
}
}
The above snippet is taken from the WebGPU Samples Animometer example.
Unset vertex buffer
// Set vertex buffer in slot 0
passEncoder.setVertexBuffer(0, vertexBuffer);
// Later, unset vertex buffer in slot 0
passEncoder.setVertexBuffer(0, null);
