## Name

VkAccelerationStructureBuildSizesInfoKHR - Structure specifying build sizes for an acceleration structure

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkAccelerationStructureBuildSizesInfoKHR` structure describes the required build sizes for an acceleration structure and scratch buffers and is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
    typedef struct VkAccelerationStructureBuildSizesInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkDeviceSize       accelerationStructureSize;
        VkDeviceSize       updateScratchSize;
        VkDeviceSize       buildScratchSize;
    } VkAccelerationStructureBuildSizesInfoKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `accelerationStructureSize` is the size in bytes required in a VkAccelerationStructureKHR for a build or update operation.

- `updateScratchSize` is the size in bytes required in a scratch buffer for an update operation.

- `buildScratchSize` is the size in bytes required in a scratch buffer for a build operation.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkAccelerationStructureBuildSizesInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_BUILD_SIZES_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkAccelerationStructureBuildSizesInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`
