🔺 Metal Tutorials
Metal Tutorials
A hands-on series covering Apple’s Metal GPU API in Swift — from a single triangle to a fully GPU-driven deferred renderer.
Each tutorial builds on the previous one. All source code is on GitHub.
| # | Tutorial | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Preparation | Project setup, Xcode, SwiftUI + Metal boilerplate |
| 1 | Hello Triangle | MTLDevice, pipeline state, vertex & fragment shaders |
| 2 | Sample Object | MTLBuffer, vertex descriptors, Model I/O, uniforms |
| 3 | Deferred Rendering | G-buffer, multiple render targets, lighting pass |
| 4 | Shadows | Shadow maps, depth textures, PCF, bias |
| 5 | Tiled Rendering | Apple Silicon TBDR, memoryless textures, tile shaders |
| 6 | GPU Rendering | MTLIndirectCommandBuffer, argument buffers, MTLHeap |
