1: Yes! I'll probably use them for visibility tests. 2: Yes! In OpenGL this is actually the default behaviour. In this code I bind the storage buffer once at creation, the compute shader writes to it and the geometry shader (but could be any shader module at all) reads from it, no host involvement beyond synchronisation of shaders.

@@GetIntoGameDev thank you so much! Looking forward to the corresponding Vulkan implementation. As always love the content!

Fair point! Defining as a shader constant may speed things up further, not on the memory bus since I’m only transferring once at program creation, but by reducing the number of memory reads.
