Creating a native UAV into a meshes native vertex buffer (DX11)
I have a native plugin which generates mesh data using compute shaders. My ideal solution would be to pass down the native vertex buffer pointer down to the plugin, create a UAV into it, and bind that directly to my compute shader.
Attempting to create the UAV returns an invalid args result. The vertex buffer appears to not be a structured buffer (buffer description has a structured byte stride of 0). Could this be why this method will not work?
It occurs to me that unity probably has not created the buffer with the UAV bind flag set and so i will not be able to create UAVs into it.
Ill create a copy of the buffer to bind to my shader and try to copy the results across into the vertex buffer.
Even this didn't work. I have reverted to binding a compute buffer to the vertex shader and passing the pointer to that buffer down to my plugin.
