Vulkan Vertex + Index Buffers | Cross Platform Game Engine Development

In this lesson, we're going to create our vertex and index Vulkan buffers in order to easily create objects on the GPU for future rendering. By the end of this video, you'll have the ability to upload arbitrary mesh data to the GPU and render it on screen.

We're going to be removing the triangle from our Vulkan renderer, abstract our file system layer a little bit, and by the end have two differently colored triangles.
