How it works...

Preparing a single frame of animation can be divided into five steps:

1. Acquiring a swapchain image.
2. Creating a framebuffer.
3. Recording a command buffer.
4. Submitting the command buffer to the queue.
5. Presenting an image.

First, we must acquire a swapchain image into which we can render. Rendering is performed inside a render pass that defines the parameters of attachments. Specific resources used for these attachments are defined in a framebuffer.

As we want to render into a swapchain image (to display the image on screen), this image must be specified as one of the attachments defined in a framebuffer. It may seem that creating a framebuffer earlier and reusing it during the rendering is a good idea. Of course, it is a valid ...
