StructuredBuffer
class StructuredBuffer
Description
StructuredBuffer represent a shader uniform/constant buffer values in array. Structured buffer is human-readable representation of raw shader buffer array data that stored in GPU. This class should be using only for creating a CPU buffer (here in C#) with all shaders variables, and send it to GPU when rendering is happen, or for setup shader buffers. In memory StructuredBuffer looks something like this: [float, float, int, int, int, Matrix4 ..., ..., ...]. Where for example first two floats can represent a Vector2, or middle three ints can represent a position or any other Vector3. At the moment, this API has a number of limitations, one of them is that we cannot send a certain part of the buffer, but only completely.
Properties
StructuredBuffer
Construct new StructuredBuffer from array of values.
StructuredBuffer

Methods
Set
Send the StructuredBuffer to shader to GPU. All Set the object value at end of the buffer.
Get(int index)
Gets the object value by index from this buffer.
Get
Gets the all elements in sequence array of data.
Clear
Removes all values from this buffer (on CPU side not GPU).
CountOfElements
Returns total count of all elements in this buffer.
Count
Returns count of all objects in this buffer that was initially passed.
Size
Returns the total size in bytes of this buffer.
Operators
operator object[]
