makeRenderPipelineState(descriptor:)

Asynchronously compiles a Metal render pipeline state from the given descriptor.

Declaration

nonisolated(nonsending) final func makeRenderPipelineState(descriptor: LowLevelRenderPipelineState.Descriptor) async throws -> sending LowLevelRenderPipelineState

Parameters

descriptor:
The mesh descriptor, material, render targets, and optional blending configuration.

Return Value

A compiled LowLevelRenderPipelineState.

Discussion

The descriptor’s mesh format, material, and render target configuration are baked into the pipeline at compile time. Create pipeline states once and reuse them across frames.
