C Specification
Once the orientation of triangles is determined, they are culled according
to the VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo::cullMode property
of the currently active pipeline.
Possible values are:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef enum VkCullModeFlagBits {
VK_CULL_MODE_NONE = 0,
VK_CULL_MODE_FRONT_BIT = 0x00000001,
VK_CULL_MODE_BACK_BIT = 0x00000002,
VK_CULL_MODE_FRONT_AND_BACK = 0x00000003,
} VkCullModeFlagBits;Description
-
VK_CULL_MODE_NONE specifies that no triangles are discarded
-
VK_CULL_MODE_FRONT_BIT specifies that front-facing triangles are discarded
-
VK_CULL_MODE_BACK_BIT specifies that back-facing triangles are discarded
-
VK_CULL_MODE_FRONT_AND_BACK specifies that all triangles are discarded.
Following culling, fragments are produced for any triangles which have not been discarded.
