🤟 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.

Tutorials

1. 0️⃣ Preparation Project setup, Xcode, and the SwiftUI–Metal application structure.
2. 1️⃣ Hello Triangle Metal device, pipeline state, vertex and fragment shaders, and the render loop.
3. 2️⃣ Sample Object Buffers, vertex descriptors, Model I/O, uniforms, depth, and GGX shading.
4. 3️⃣ Deferred Rendering G-buffer attachments, multiple render targets, and a separate lighting pass.
5. 4️⃣ Shadows Shadow maps, depth textures, percentage-closer filtering, and bias.
6. 5️⃣ Tiled Rendering Apple Silicon TBDR, memoryless attachments, and tile shaders.
7. 6️⃣ GPU Rendering Indirect command buffers, argument buffers, heaps, and GPU-generated draws.
