I hope to see at least the first 3 features in metal in the future and I think that many developers feel the same way. Is there a roadmap for metal? Is there a website where I can suggest features to the metal developers?
Two interesting new shader stages to optimize the rendering pipelineĪre there any plans to implement this features in future?
This is also very important as so many DirectX12 game engines could be ported to Metal more easily. To be equivalent to D3D12 Resource Binding Tear 2, you would need 1 million. Metal has a limit of 500000 resources per argument buffer.
Only 500000 resources per argument buffer. Also very useful in many gpu driven situations This feature allows an application to source the number of draws for indirect drawing calls from a buffer. It is very useful for D3D12 emulation and for compatibility with Vulkan, e.g. This feature allows the application to query a 64-bit buffer device address value for a buffer. These features are very interesting if you want to write a GPU driven renderer for modern game engines.įurthermore, these features could be used to emulate D3D12 on the Mac via MoltenVK, which would result in more games being available on the Mac. Nanite and Lumen are unfortunately not available on the Mac.Īs a Vulkan developer I wanted to inquire about some features that are not yet available in Metal at the moment. Especially with the Unreal Engine 5 you can already see a tendency in this direction, since e.g. However, since some features are still missing in Metal, it could be problematic for some developers to port their games to Metal. 
#Unreal engine 4 mac os pro
With the release of the M1 Pro and M1 Max in particular, the Mac has become a platform that could become very interesting for games in the future.
