For testing Vulkan on Windows 64bit and Linux 64bit in comparison to DX12, DX11, OpenGL, etc. Based on Shapes.Hu's Nature Starter Kit 2 [ http://u3d.as/nfn ] and nice assets from Unity Asset Store.Thanks to Kino Bokeh [ https://github.com/keijiro/KinoBokeh ].

 

Cool, thanks for the tip!

 

Hello,

Hi, I am not Unity Staff so I don't know a specific answer. As far as I know, there is no Vulkan support on Mac, just OpenGL and Metal.

I don't use Mac or iOS anymore at this stage so I cannot comment on the situation. Unfortunately that means that I can't build this particular demo for Mac, just Windows and Linux as it stands.

Personally, my opinion is that using Unity3D and using Metal API for iOS and Mac OS X is the best solution. It appears to be a fast option especially for the latest iOS device processors.

For OS X, Metal would also be a better option, though as we can see the latest Mac hardware definitely lags behind PC (and Linux) devices, in general.

Now I did find 'MoltenGL' which apparently tries to 'bridge' Vulkan to iOS and Metal. How it might apply to Unity3D I don't know, but the site is: https://moltengl.com/

 

Concerning the lack of Vulkan on Mac OS X, you can complain to Apple, they are the ones in favor of Metal, I guess they don't want their users to play games or use applications that are also available on other platforms
