Unity adds Vulkan support

[JATownes]

Unity has officially added Vulkan support!

I'm interested to see this API get more support. Cross platform and appears to provide great performance. Need more developers to use this API to form a more educated option of its performance.

I never tried Unity before. I loaded the standard assets example project and ticked Vulkan.
After that inspector tab went blank. How do i get it back to normal?
TIA

Duh,
the content disappears after build, so you have to goto build settings/player settings again.

NB the editor itself doesn't support Vulkan (or D3D12) yet.

Use RenderDoc to expose the renderer in the built project.

Some tests i made. I would have done more, but working on a slow laptop is quite time consuming.
All projects built against Vulkan SDK 1.024 as i had some issues using later versions with other apps.
