From Blender to Vulkan: Loading 3D Models with Assimp!
In this video we learn how to use the Assimp library in order to load asset files in Vulkan. We will share some of the code that was written for a similar implementation in OpenGL. This will help us reduce the amount of work and allow us to focus on Vulkan specific stuff.
🔥 See the list of the books that I'm using as background information for my tutorials: https://ogldev.org/books.html
I highly recommend them for learning more about OpenGL and Vulkan. These are affiliate links so if you use them to buy any of the books the price is the same for you and I will get a small commission (thank-you!).
