pub enum VertexStepMode { Vertex = 0, Instance = 1, }
Expand description

Whether a vertex buffer is indexed by vertex or by instance.

Consider a call to RenderPass::draw like this:

render_pass.draw(vertices, instances)

where vertices is a Range<u32> of vertex indices, and instances is a Range<u32> of instance indices.

For this call, wgpu invokes the vertex shader entry point once for every possible (v, i) pair, where v is drawn from vertices and i is drawn from instances. These invocations may happen in any order, and will usually run in parallel.

Each vertex buffer has a step mode, established by the step_mode field of its VertexBufferLayout, given when the pipeline was created. Buffers whose step mode is Vertex use v as the index into their contents, whereas buffers whose step mode is Instance use i. The indicated buffer element then contributes zero or more attribute values for the (v, i) vertex shader invocation to use, based on the VertexBufferLayout’s attributes list.

You can visualize the results from all these vertex shader invocations as a matrix with a row for each i from instances, and with a column for each v from vertices. In one sense, v and i are symmetrical: both are used to index vertex buffers and provide attribute values. But the key difference between v and i is that line and triangle primitives are built from the values of each row, along which i is constant and v varies, not the columns.

An indexed draw call works similarly:

render_pass.draw_indexed(indices, base_vertex, instances)

The only difference is that v values are drawn from the contents of the index buffer—specifically, the subrange of the index buffer given by indices—instead of simply being sequential integers, as they are in a draw call.

A non-instanced call, where instances is 0..1, is simply a matrix with only one row.

Corresponds to WebGPU GPUVertexStepMode.
