Question

我正在尝试为iOS进行3D for 3D开发。我在网上看了几篇简短的文章，仅涵盖了Metal的基础知识。 Theres还有一本书＆＃34; Metal by example＆＃34;但是这本书也没有详细介绍Metal。我还检查了一个类似的问题，在堆栈溢出问，但答案只是引导我到相同的文章。有没有人知道一个好的资源（书籍，视频或网络教程）可以教我基础知识一直到专家级别的金属？

Answer 1

很难为Metal获得全面的资源指南，因为它还处于起步阶段。有一些东西，但它不足以让你真正擅长这一点。

这就是我的建议：咬紧牙关，先学习一下OpenGL ES。网上有很多教程，还有书籍。做一点吧;足以绘制纹理对象。但请确保您能够理解这些基础知识的基本概念。在那之后，拿起一本关于通用计算机图形概念的好书。一个很好的是实时渲染（Möller，Haines和Hoffman）。这将使您的图形知识成为一门科学，而Metal将成为实现这些概念的工具。为了实现它们，官方的Apple文档和WWDC视频就足够了。

Metal和OpenGL ES之间有很多常用术语，这就是为什么我建议先学习它。无论如何，它们都是计算机图形。所以你的目标应该是学习计算机图形学。金属将成为你工作的工具。

从MetalKit开始，并构建一些结果 - 就像使用任何金属性能着色器处理视频输出的相机应用程序：

@import UIKit;
@import AVFoundation;
@import CoreMedia;
#import <MetalKit/MetalKit.h>
#import <Metal/Metal.h>
#import <MetalPerformanceShaders/MetalPerformanceShaders.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController <MTKViewDelegate, AVCaptureVideoDataOutputSampleBufferDelegate>  {
    NSString *_displayName;
    NSString *serviceType;
}

@property (retain, nonatomic) SessionContainer *session;
@property (retain, nonatomic) AVCaptureSession *avSession;

@end;

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController () {
    MTKView *_metalView;

    id<MTLDevice> _device;
    id<MTLCommandQueue> _commandQueue;
    id<MTLTexture> _texture;

    CVMetalTextureCacheRef _textureCache;
}

@property (strong, nonatomic) AVCaptureDevice *videoDevice;
@property (nonatomic) dispatch_queue_t sessionQueue;

@end

    _metalView.device = _device;
    _metalView.delegate = self;
    _metalView.clearColor = MTLClearColorMake(1, 1, 1, 1);
    _metalView.colorPixelFormat = MTLPixelFormatBGRA8Unorm;

    CVMetalTextureCacheCreate(NULL, NULL, _device, NULL, &_textureCache);

    [self.view addSubview:_metalView];

    if ([self setupCamera]) {

            dispatch_queue_t sampleBufferQueue = dispatch_queue_create("CameraMulticaster", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);

            AVCaptureVideoDataOutput * dataOutput = [[AVCaptureVideoDataOutput alloc] init];
            [dataOutput setAlwaysDiscardsLateVideoFrames:YES];
            [dataOutput setVideoSettings:@{(id)kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey: @(kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA)}];
