C Specification
Geometry types are specified by VkGeometryTypeKHR, which takes values:
// Provided by VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
typedef enum VkGeometryTypeKHR {
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR = 0,
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_AABBS_KHR = 1,
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_INSTANCES_KHR = 2,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing_linear_swept_spheres
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_SPHERES_NV = 1000429004,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing_linear_swept_spheres
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_LINEAR_SWEPT_SPHERES_NV = 1000429005,
#ifdef VK_ENABLE_BETA_EXTENSIONS
// Provided by VK_AMDX_dense_geometry_format
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_DENSE_GEOMETRY_FORMAT_TRIANGLES_AMDX = 1000478000,
#endif
// Provided by VK_KHR_opacity_micromap
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_MICROMAP_KHR = 1000623000,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_NV = VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_TRIANGLES_KHR,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_AABBS_NV = VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_AABBS_KHR,
} VkGeometryTypeKHR;
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
// Equivalent to VkGeometryTypeKHR
typedef VkGeometryTypeKHR VkGeometryTypeNV;
Description

-
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_DENSE_GEOMETRY_FORMAT_TRIANGLES_AMDX specifies a geometry type consisting of triangles from compressed data.
-
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_SPHERES_NV specifies a geometry type consisting of spheres.
-
VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_LINEAR_SWEPT_SPHERES_NV specifies a geometry type consisting of linear swept spheres.
-
