About the Author
Pawel Lapinski
is a graphics software engineer at Intel Corporation. His professional career
started 10 years ago when he and his friends were hired to develop a 3D training/simulation
application using C++, OpenGL, and Cg, which was later improved with added head-
mounted display support and stereoscopic image generation.
Since his studies, Pawel has been interested in 3D graphics and especially in the open
multiplatform OpenGL library. He wrote a diploma about the “Effective usage of vertex
and fragment shaders.” Since then, he has continued to pursue opportunities to work with
3D graphics and expand his knowledge in the field. He had the opportunity to join a team
that was developing one of the biggest CAVE‑like installations at the Polish Gdansk
University of Technology. His responsibility was to prepare 3D visualizations using
Unity3D engine and add stereoscopic image generation and support for motion tracking.
Pawel's whole career has involved working with computer graphics, the OpenGL library,
and shaders. However, some time ago, already as a programmer at Intel, he had the
opportunity to start working with the Vulkan API when he prepared validation tests for the
Vulkan graphics driver. He also prepared a series of tutorials teaching people how to use
Vulkan and now he wants to share more of his knowledge in the form of a Vulkan
Cookbook.
