[wgpu] Validation error when sampling multisampled texture in capture_hi_res.rs example

[mitchmindtree]

Some Context

The new capture_hi_res.rs example demonstrates the following steps each frame:

1. Draw some vector graphics.
2. Render the vector graphics to a multisampled 4K UHD texture.
3. Capture the texture and save it to a PNG file.
4. Write the multisampled 4K texture to the much smaller multisampled window frame texture. This step is the focus of this issue.

During step 4, we use a TextureReshaper to write the larger mulstisampled texture to the smaller multisampled window texture (see here). The TextureReshaper does this by treating the src_texture as a shader input and rendering it with two triangles to the dst_texture. The TextureReshaper src can be found here.

The Issue

An issue is occurring where the following validation error is being produced when render_pass.draw is called within the TextureReshaper::encode_render_pass method:

UNASSIGNED-CoreValidation-DrawState-DescriptorSetNotUpdated(ERROR / SPEC): msgNum: 0 - VkDescriptorSet 0x32[] bound as set #0 encountered the following validation error at vkCmdDraw() time: Descriptor in binding #0 index 0 requires bound image to have VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT but got VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_4_BIT.

It seems that, for some reason, the texture binding in the descriptor set is expected to have a sample count of 1, even though we specify that the SampledTexture is multisampled when creating the bind group layout.

@kvark do you have any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong here? You mentioned yesterday that it should be fine to use a multisampled texture as a shader input, so I'm guessing I must be failing to specify the src sample count in a field somewhere or something along these lines. Or is it possible that the multisampled field of the BindGroupLayoutBinding is accidentally being ignored by wgpu? Let me know if I can provide more info!

Sorry to keep bugging you! This is the last known wgpu related error I'm running into before #452 is ready to land but I'm struggling to crack this one.

Your shader expects the texture to be non-multisampled:

nannou/src/wgpu/texture/reshaper/shaders/shader.frag

Line 12 in f035233

layout(set = 0, binding = 0) uniform texture2D tex;

The proper type would be texture2DMS.

So from wgpu perspective, the shader doesn't match the pipeline layout (which specifies this binding to be multi-sampled), and we should be erroring out the pipeline creation. This falls under gfx-rs/wgpu#269

Aaaahhhhhhhhh I see!

TIL texture2DMS is a thing :)

Thank you as usual!

For the reference, keep this around: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/GLSL/blob/master/extensions/khr/GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl.txt

I think in the future we'll have WGSL specified much better and will be able to recommend it.

Okydoke, just pushed a fix in this commit!
