SDL_BINDGPUVERTEXSTORAGETEXTURES(3)

💖 SDL_BindGPUVertexStorageTextures 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, and today's main character is SDL_BindGPUVertexStorageTextures ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_BindGPUVertexStorageTextures — binds storage textures so your vertex shader can actually use them 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

void SDL_BindGPUVertexStorageTextures(
    SDL_GPURenderPass *render_pass,
    Uint32 first_slot,
    SDL_GPUTexture *const *storage_textures,
    Uint32 num_bindings);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so first things first, queen: these textures must have been created with SDL_GPU_TEXTUREUSAGE_GRAPHICS_STORAGE_READ. no exceptions, that's the vibe check they have to pass 🫶

and the textures you're binding have to have a matching type declared in the shader — like 2D, 3D, 2DMS, etc. mismatched types? not slay. the shader said what it said 💀

also, be sure your shader is set up according to the requirements documented in SDL_CreateGPUShader(). literally go read that one too, it's giving prerequisites 📚

---

✨ FUNCTION PARAMETERS ✨

• render_pass — a render pass handle 🎨
• first_slot — the vertex storage texture slot to begin binding from 🎯
• storage_textures — an array of storage textures 🧚
• num_bindings — the number of storage texture to bind from the array 🔢

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0 👑

---

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• SDL_CreateGPUShader(3) 💜

ngl, if you skipped the SDL_CreateGPUShader() requirement you're gonna have a bad time. it's not me being dramatic, it's just fr fr the rules 🙈

Simple Directmedia Layer — SDL 3.4.18 — mwah, that's a wrap bestie, go bind some textures and slay 💅✨🦋🌸
